Cawein, Madison Julius. Vale of Tempe. [*]$1.50. Dutton.
“‘The Vale of Tempe,’ by Madison Cawein is a volume which, along with some crudities and weakness, has both the old glamour of poesy and an individual tang, so to say, that is uncommon in contemporary verse. Mr. Cawein draws his inspiration in equal draughts from the Kentucky landscape and from the world of pagan poetry, and in at least two of the aptitudes of the poet he stands pretty much by himself. His turn for vivid imaginative phrase is of the first order.... His command of the technique of tone-color is also exceptional.”—Nation.
