The Second Book of Modern Verse: A Selection from the Work of Contemporaneous American Poets
American poetry -- 20th century
Bradley, William Aspinwall. [1878-1939] (1)
Born at Hartford, Conn., Feb. 8, 1878. Educated at Columbia University
where he received the degree of A.M. in 1900. Married Miss Grace Goodrich
in 1903. From 1900 to 1908 Mr. Bradley was art director and literary advisor
to McClure, Phillips & Co. and the McClure Co. and left them
to become typographical designer and supervisor of printing
at the Yale University Press, where he remained until 1917,
when America entered the World War. He then became connected
with the War Camp Community Service in which he did excellent work
for the period of the war. Mr. Bradley is the author of several
books and brochures upon art and particularly upon prints and etchings,
such as "French Etchers of the Second Empire", 1916.
In poetry, he is the author of "Garlands and Wayfarings", 1917;
"Old Christmas and Other Kentucky Tales in Verse", 1917; "Singing Carr", 1918.
The last two books are based upon Kentucky folk-tales and ballads
gathered by Mr. Bradley among the people of the Cumberland Mountains.
Branch, Anna Hempstead. [1875-1937] (3)
Born at Hempstead House, New London, Conn. Graduated from
Smith College in 1897 and from the American Academy of Dramatic Art,
in New York City, in 1900. While at college she began writing poetry
and the year after her graduation won the first prize offered
by the `Century Magazine' for a poem written by a college graduate.
This poem, "The Road 'Twixt Heaven and Hell", was printed
in the `Century Magazine' for December, 1898, and was followed
soon after by the publication of Miss Branch's first volume,
"The Heart of the Road", 1901. She has since published two volumes,
"The Shoes That Danced", 1902, and "Rose of the Wind", 1910,
both marked by imagination and beauty of a high order.

the Woodward High School of Cincinnati and took the degree of LL.B.
