Responsibilities, and other poems
Yeats, W. B. (William Butler)
English poetry -- Irish authors
California is now to have its part in the poetry revival. Robinson
Jeffers is a new poet, a man whose name is as yet unknown but whose work
is of such outstanding character that once it is read he is sure of
acceptance by those who have admired the writings of such men as John G.
Neihardt, Edgar Lee Masters, Edwin Arlington Robinson and Thomas Walsh.
Virtually all of the poems in this first collection have their setting
in California, most of them in the Monterey peninsula, and they realize
the scenery of the great State with vividness and richness of detail.
The author's main source of inspiration has been the varying aspects of
nature.

The New Poetry: An Anthology
Edited by HARRIET MONROE and ALICE CORBIN HENDERSON, Editors of _Poetry_
Probably few people are following as closely the poetry of to-day as
are the editors of the _Poetry Magazine_ of Chicago. They are eminently
fitted, therefore, to prepare such a volume as this, which is intended
to represent the work that is being done by the leading poets of the
land. Here, between the covers of one book, are brought together poems
by a great many different writers, all of whom may be said to be
responsible in a measure for the revival of interest in poetry in this
country.
The Story of Eleusis
By LOUIS V. LEDOUX
This is a lyrical drama, in the Greek manner, dealing with the story of
Persephone. Mr. Ledoux has constructed such a play as might well have
held the attention of the assembled mystae at Eleusis. It is Greek.
Better than this, it is also human. Its beauty and its truthfulness to
life will appeal alike to the lover of classical and the lover of modern
dramatic poetry.
