The article presents some books of poetry. "Poets of Today," presents poems by Norma Farber, Robert Pack and Louis Simpson. Edited with an introduction by John Hall Wheelock. In the book "The Precision," by Cid Corman waves away the strict forms of the tradition, but only to hold more faithfully to the strict form of things. "Love Poems," by Gloria Vanderbilt focuses on a difference between self-expression and the re-created thing. "Figures From a Double World," by Thomas McGrath starts by making all the mistakes of proletarian satire in the first section of poems here presented, but with a difference that begins to find real rewards in the later more personal poems.
