Abstract

Poetry as Sound Track
Walton, Eda Lou | April 2, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents discussion on two books. The books are: "The River," by Pare Lorentz and "Land of the Free," by Archibald MacLeish. "The River" is a moving picture reproduced as a book of stills with an accompanying narrative. The book suffers by comparison with the film; the lithographs are not very clear, and the movement of the drama is lost. MacLeish's "Land of the Free" is a book of photographs taken for the most part by artists working for the Resettlement Administration. The pictures are beautifully reproduced and speak for themselves.
