I have said to them: No matter what happens, no matter for barbarism and murder, no matter for robbery and starvation, no matter for yawning perditions, keep your face to the sun. And I say to you O sun subtracting no atom from the sum of your illimitability: Keep your face to me. Comrades: Come: assemble yourselves about me. The first word shall be the last word and the last word the first word again: Keep your face to the sun. POETRY A MAGAZINE OF VERSE Edited by Harriet Monroe, 543 Cass St., Chicago, Ill. POETRY, at the end of its first year, is no longer an experiment but an assured artistic success, a publication whose importance is authoritatively recognized, not only in this country, but in Great Britain and France as well. The field it has opened up is full of brilliant possibilities, encouraging the editors to hope for the enthusiastic support of a discriminating public. POETRY endeavors to present the best verse now being written in English, quality alone being the test of acceptance. POETRY is an effort to create an organ for the art. While the ordinary magazines must minister to a large public little interested in poetry, this magazine appeals to and will develop a public primarily interested in poetry as an art, potentially the highest, most complete human expression of truth and beauty. Thus it offers to poets a chance to be heard by their own audience, in their own place, without the limitations imposed by the popular magazines. And to lovers of poetry it offers each month a sheaf of new verse in delicate form uninterrupted by prose articles demanding a different mood.

Inspirational prose pieces fired by revolutionary idealism and prophetically subtle in their vision. The high esteem in which Traubel's work is held is attested by the following unusual commendations: Mildred Bain: "In 'Chants Communal' we have some of the most magnificent poetry which has ever accompanied a historic movement of thought. These songs may well be termed scriptural. They are the very heart beat of humanity. Such powerful exhortations, such fiercely tender pleadings are in them. They are religious in the deepest, broadest sense. Every one of them is a call to the higher self in man; is instinct with the consciousness of the sacredness of life in its human every-day aspects." Jack London: "His is the vision of the poet and the voice of the poet."
