Remind them that this is the most effectual way to show their appreciation of an attempt to make this art of as much national concern as the arts of painting, sculpture, music and the drama.

Earth Triumphant _and_ Other Tales In Verse BY CONRAD AIKEN Opinions of the Leading Reviewers “There are many volumes of poetry this season, Conrad Aiken’s ‘Earth Triumphant’ being given first place not only because of its excellence, but because it voices the spirit of the new world in sonorous tones.”—_Los Angeles Graphic._ “The narrative poems in this book in hand are written by one whose thought has sounded further depths than the author of ‘The Everlasting Mercy’ has yet found. In particular is this true of ‘Youth,’ the second number in the book, a poem of greater daring, strength, and scope than has come from any singer of recent note.”—_New York World._ “A new champion has entered the lists, for it is impossible to read Mr. Conrad Aiken’s volume, ‘Earth Triumphant,’ without realizing that he sounds a note quite different to any that has been heard before.... A remarkable sense of balance and of value is combined with no little beauty of expression and the result cannot fail to be impressive. The philosophy is that of the transcendency of youth, of the cleansing that is to be found in the forces of nature. To make use of a phrase lately rediscovered by one of our novelists, Mr. Aiken makes us ‘touch earth.’”—L. B. Lippman, in _The Book News Monthly_. “Aiken sings the praises of Earth and Youth with genuine sweetness and exuberance ... rapid moving narratives with many soaring lyrics by the way.”—_Chicago Evening Post._ “His stories are graphic, his shorter lyrics steeped in warm earth music.... Mr. Aiken’s book is one of the most pleasing of the year.”—_American Review of Reviews._
