* _Syrinx: Pastels of Hellas. By Mitchell S. Buck._ (Claire-Marie: $1.25 net.) A volume of prose poems of reticent Pagan art, suggestive of the best work of Pierre Louys. Unique in American poetry, and really beautiful. _In the High Hills. By Maxwell Struthers Burt._ (Houghton-Mifflin: $1.25 net.) The verse in this volume is of a kind that has eminent qualities without eminent distinction. The earnestness and sincerity of Mr. Burt’s poetic moods give to his poetry those sound qualities which at least compel attention, if they do not excite the emotions. The elements of poetry are not fused with imaginative heat in his work, and hence it lacks magic, but it reflects the gentlemanly feeling of a lover of poetry in verse which demands respect. _The Sun-Thief, and Other Poems. By Rhys Carpenter._ (Oxford University Press: $1.75 net.) Competent academic verse on classical models, including a new version of the Prometheus legend. _The Poet and Nature: What He Saw and What He Heard. By Madison Cawein._ (John P. Morton & Co.: Louisville, Kentucky. $1.50.) A volume of prose and verse designed to encourage a love of poetry in children. The first half of the volume is in the form of a juvenile story with previously published lyrics of Mr. Cawein interspersed as examples of poetic beauty: the second half of the volume consists of hitherto uncollected poems of nature by Mr. Cawein now gathered together under the title of _The Morning Road_. This part of the volume should give especial pleasure to Mr. Cawein’s readers. _Green Days and Blue Days. By Patrick R. Chalmers._ (Norman, Remington: $1.00 net.) A pleasant volume of light verse by a contributor to _Punch_. The verses do not pretend to be more than agreeable diversions, and reflect the lighter moods of life happily and in delicate numbers. _At the Shrine, and Other Poems. By George Herbert Clarke._ (Stewart and Kidd: $1.25 net.) A pleasant unassuming collection of somewhat academic verse reflecting a life of scholarly leisure. The closing section of letters in verse to departed novelists is particularly happy, recalling at no great distance the similar work of Austin Dobson. * _Path Flower. By Olive Tilford Dargan._ (Scribner: $1.25 net.) With this volume of lyrical poems Olive Tilford Dargan definitely takes her place as one of our foremost younger poets. With much of Francis Thompson’s vision of an overarching heaven and a shadowed earth, and also much of Thompson’s mannerism, she is herself in the best of these poems, in which she treats high themes with high artistic fervor. Her feeling for landscape is English in its delicacy, and she has interpreted the influence of nature on human life and its incidence with clear insight and sympathy. No one will deny Mrs. Dargan’s poetic inspiration or the refinement of her vision. _Florence on a Certain Night, and Other Poems. By Coningsby Dawson._ (Holt: $1.25 net.) A volume of undistinguished literary verse by a distinguished novelist.
