The article presents information on the book "King Jasper," by Edwin Arlington Robinson. the book published posthumously, is the last message to the living of Edwin Arlington Robinson, undoubtedly one of America's finest poets. After several long poems which were studies of the intricate reactions of individual minds to death, Robinson wrote, as his last poem, a study of the disintegration of a society. The book is related in a very definite way to Robinson's "Merlin," which was an analysis, with the old legend as reference, of an age returning to barbarism.
