This article focuses on two books, "The Criterion Book of Modern American Verse," edited by W.H. Auden, and "The Old Man's Road," by W.H. Auden. With his customary quick omniscience, W.H. Auden has put together an unpredictable and original, if not altogether distinguished, anthology of modern American verse, very different from his and Norman Holmes Pearson's authoritative "Poets of the English Language." Auden also brings a small new pamphlet of verse. The seven poems of "The Old Man's Road," says its jacket, are "a series of reflections on the nature and process of history."
