Abstract

The Poetry of Leonie Adams
Walton, Eda Lou | February 26, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "High Falcon and Other Poems," by Léonie Adams. Themes of Adams's poetry are love and nature, the two great Elizabethan themes, but in her love poetry there is none of the Elizabethan conventionality of phrase and in her nature poetry no reflection of the pastoral tradition. The simple sensual outlook of Elizabethans is replaced by the intricate intensity of a modern bent upon spiritual exploration and understanding of life. Like all truly fine English poetry, Adams's verse, despite its literary roots, is unique.
