Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1914, and Year Book of American Poetry Escaping the illusion, this modern world has become the prisoner of delusion. For, if poetry deals with anything, it deals with reality. No matter how remote the setting, how subtle the com munication, the one hard fact about true poetry, is its reality. The poet at the core and centre of life, surrounded with his dreams, his clairvoyant madness imbibed from the full draught of experi ence, his intensity of emotion, his childlike tender ness of sympathy, his quickening ecstasy of nu ashamed and unrestrained feeling, is consideredthe abnormal product of modern civilization; while in truth he is alone the one normal type of modern mankind, because he alone is in absolute harmony and understanding with the real and common impulse of human destiny. The great secret of life is to discover by a process of related effects, this common reality of experience. Most of mankind grope blindly in the dark, and miss it, and by a kind of frenzied and pitiable ignorance acquire the abnormal character of conduct. The poet discovers, or at least puts his being wholly at the disposal of, these secrets, wins a serene and contemplative relationship to these efl'ects, and lives a normal spiritual life. Harmony and rhythm are but two common terms that express and designate infinity. There was a man who was so absolutely sane that the scod'era of his day called him mad this man was Wil liam Blake. Christ was a madman to the com munity of his day, even his closest friends and dis ciples were not without doubt at times as to his sanity. But these two men were never a hair's breadth from the commonest reat of existence. They realized imaginative facts, and kept in abso lute tune with the harmony and rhythm of life, not merely with what they saw with the actual eye, but with that more penetrative, more limitless sense, the seeing soul. They were poets, and the one insistent quality of their message, was the reality of mortal and immortal life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1920: And Year Book of American Poetry Recent American poetry is to recent British poetry somewhat as New York is to London. Its colors are higher and gayer and more diverse; its outlines are more jagged and more surprising; its surfaces glitter and flash as British poetical surfaces do not always do, though its substances are often not so solid or so downright as the British. Nowhere in America have we a poet of the deep integrity of Thomas Hardy, a poet so rooted in ancient soil, ancient manners, ancient dialect. Nor has England a poet shining from so many facets as Amy Lowell, or a poet resounding with such a clang of cymbals - now gold, now iron - as Vachel Lindsay. Experiment thrives better here than there; at least, our adventurers in verse, when they go out on novel quests for novel beauties, are less likely than the British to be held in by steadying tradition, and they bring back all sorts of gorgeous plunder considerably nearer in hue and texture to the flaming shop-windows of Fifth Avenue than to those soberer ones of Bond and Regent Streets. Even John Masefield, most brilliant living poet of his nation, runs true to British form, grounded in Chaucer and Crabbe, fragrant with English meadows, salt with England's sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1917: And Yearbook of American Poetry All the glamour about our present Renaissance of poetry carries with it a palpable danger: the danger of disintegrating criticism. My belief is that the year 1916 may be the pivot upon which the art of poetry in America will advance or recede. Poets are born but fine poetry is encouraged by public patronage and appreciation. Neither patronage nor appreciation is to be had from the public, if criticbm poisons the art at its root. The tradition of criticism is nearly always the attempt to do this: Francis Jeffrey stands as the typical example of the destructive critic, who gave us no insist into his personal knowledge of life, and now, nobody reads him except out of curiosity; Charles Lamb is a typical example of the creative critic, who seeks in his author a contact with life: he is not erudite but human, be measures rather than judges, and so we never cease to delight in his wisdom. With these examples, the right aims of criticism ought to appear quite positive. Contrary to popular belief and the theory of literary individuals criticism is not a judgment of literary styles and materials, but an interpretation of life through the creative use of language and expression. Not the form, but the substance is the main thing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The men in the trenches had laid with their flesh and blood a road to Utopia but_ the officials refused to follow in its direction, and in: stead blocked it up and took the other way. That silly notion that existed and was fostered that the men who fought would determine the character of the nation has vanished. They had aglimpse of justice and brotherhood but their own cities smothered the vision in their eyes. The cities told them to take a commonsense view of things while so much unrest was in the world. And the commonsense point of view was not to disturb the old order. But the old order was passing, which the officials would not believe, and the new that was coming to birth was in travail. Govern ments have got to be just or governments will fall is the last warning of democracy. At the heart of reconstruction Is that insistent note.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1921 and Year Book of American Poetry To get at the character of an American Poetry then, we must understand these forces which have been at work upon our national experiences. It is interesting in light of what I have said to quote this passage from a letter which I received from an interested reader of these anthologies. In the 1920 Anthology, it runs, you speak of we Americans as being without a 'tap root' in literature. I know we are young, yet it seems to me that if the real hundred per-cent American writers were encouraged the 'root' would respond by a greater depth of growth and in time we would have an American literature, and I am going to suggest that you in the 1921 Anthology select writers as nearly American as possible in name and in harmony with our country - make this issue American in every way descendents of the New England and New York and Pennsylvania and Virginia settlers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1918: And Year Book of American Poetry "To object to the conventionality of art in to believe in absolute realism, which, if possible, would be a science and not an art." - R. A. M. Stevenson. Three articles on poetry have been printed during the past year which have interested me because of the divergent points of view expressed. Of the three one only is safely and securely between the shoals of R. A. M. Stevenson's statement, which I quote at the head of this introduction, and common sense. This is Mr. Brian Hooker's "The Practical Use of Poetry," which appeared in the December (1917) issue of The Century Magazine. The other two articles are, "What is Poetry?" by Maxwell Bodenheim, in The New Republic for December 22, 1917, and "The Mechanism of Poetic Inspiration," by Conrad Aiken, in the North American Review for December, 1917. The article by Mr. Aiken, based upon the investigations of Nicolas Kostyleff's book "Le Mecanisme Cerebrale de la Pensee," is an attempt to denude poetic inspiration of its mystery and to rationalize its origin according to certain psychological formulas in which the elements of thought and emotion can be reasoned with exactness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1913: Including the Magazines and the Poets; A Review Poetry is one of the realities that persist. The facade and dome of palace and temple, the monuments of heroes and saints, crumble before the ruining breath of time, while the Psalms last. So when another year passes and we sum up our achievements, there is no achievement more vital in registering the soul of a people than its poetry. But in all things that men do, their relationship is objective except those things in which art, religion, love, and nature express their influence through the private thoughts and feelings of men. These four things are the realities, all the others are symbols. And the essence of art, as well as religion and love and nature, is a conscious and mysterious thing, called Poetry. And men will find, if they will only stop to look, that at the bottom of all this poetry, no matter what the theme or the particular artistic shaping, there is something with which they are familiar, because in their own souls there has been an unceasing mystery which they find named in the magic utterance of some lonely and neglected maker of verses. The poetry in the magazines for this past year has been of a general high standard. The long poems have been well sustained, and there has been a larger quantity of pure lyric pieces than in the past two or three years.
