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 volume is unusual, not only in the number of names which it
contains, but in the splendid insight which it gives into a literature
which seems to be coming once more into its own.

Californians
BY ROBINSON JEFFERS
$1.25
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.
