Abstract

A poet on Hell and Women
Walton, Eda Lou | January 8, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

In this article, the author focuses on book "Hell in Harness," and "Letters to Women," by Joseph Auslander. He has grace, excellence of music, and language, a quick poetic insight into character or scene; yet despite all this he is of less importance as a poet than a number of more awkward and more groping writers. He has somewhat the same annoying fluency as the English poet Humbert Wolfe. The story is fairly dramatic. One reads it as one would a cheap novel. It is not a poem unless people are to consider any verse-narrative a poem. The characters, like movie characters, play their rather unconvincing parts convincingly.
