Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bookman Anthology of Verse (1922) The poetry of the present age is so varied that it presents an amazing range of study for the observer and a limitless scope for the enthusiasms of the appreciator. It is a long road from the ballads of early New England to the free rhythms of Amy Lowell, of Sandburg and of Lindsay. The coming of Whitman and the development in American poetry of the dance rhythms of the Indian and the Negro, however, have not destroyed the earlier tradition. They have served only to enrich the substance and the form of English poetry. They have made it possible for an editor, today, to look over his verse files for the year, and to discover there the delicate lyricism of Lizette Wood worth Reese, Sara Teasdale and William Alexander Percy, along with the irony of Maxwell Bodenheim, the multi-colored drama of Amy Lowell and the classical imagism of "H. D." All of the poems selected for this anthology have appeared in The Bookman during the past eighteen months. They are, therefore, current. They represent an effort to paint a faithful picture of contemporary versifying, without the exercise of prejudice in selecting the elements of composition. While the majority of the poets represented are American, the work of several notable Englishmen is included; enough, at least, to offer a basis for comparison.
