Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oxford Poetry: 1921 The Editors of this year´s Oxford Poetry, the work of undergraduates who have been in residence since the date of the last collection, have attempted to make the volume more representative of Poetry and less representative merely of Oxford than its predecessors. There is always at Oxford a fashion in verse as much as in dress, and, to judge from the bulk of contributions submitted, this fashion has not changed materially since last noted and recorded in print. Mr Jones-Smith, of Balliol, still writes musically of brimming chalices, vermilion lips, chrysoprase, lotuses, arabesques and darkling spires against glimmering skies; Miss Smith-Jones, of Somerville, is equally faithful to her scarlet sins, beloved hearts, little clutching hands, little pattering feet, rosaries, eternity, roundabouts, and glimmering spires against darkling skies. Exclusion of these worn properties has given the fewer writers than usual represented here, extended elbow room, and a chance of showing some individual capacity for better or worse. Most of the pieces have already appeared serially in The London Mercury, The Spectator, The Westminster Gazette, The New Statesman, The Nation and Athenoeum, The Observer, and the other leading literary reviews. For permission to use copyright poems, our thanks are due to Messrs Christophers, publishers of Mr Golding´s ´Shepherd Singing Rag-time,´ and to Messrs Sidgwick and Jackson, publishers of Mr Rickword´s new volume ´Behind the Eyes.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
