SWORD BLADES and POPPY SEED
By AMY LOWELL
Author of “A DOME OF MANY-COLOURED GLASS,” Etc.
In “The Boston Herald” Josephine Preston Peabody writes of this unusual book:
“First, last and all inclusive in Miss Amy Lowell’s poetic equipment is vitality enough to float the work of half a score of minor poets.... Against the multitudinous array of daily verse our times produce ... this volume utters itself with a range and brilliancy wholly remarkable.... A wealth of subtleties and sympathies, gorgeously wrought, full of macabre effects (as many of the poems are) and brilliantly worked out ... personally I cannot see that Miss Lowell’s use of unrhymed vers libre has been surpassed in English. This breadth and ardor run through the whole fabric of the subject matter.... Here is the fairly Dionysiac revelry of a tireless workman. With an honesty as whole as anything in literature she hails any and all experience as stuff for poetry. The things of splendor she has made she will hardly outdo in their kind.”
