This article presents information on several books on poetry. These books are "Compass Rose," by Elizabeth Coatsworth; "Nearer the Bone," by Charles A. Wagnerand; "Angel Arms," by Kenneth Fearing and "Bands and Rebels," by Keene Wallis. Poetry has always come high. Poets peddle their manuscripts from publisher to publisher and are told urgently that they might quite as well throw them into a convenient waste-paper basket and save shoe-leather. When because a poet is very tenacious or has very persistent friends a publishing house is prevailed upon to accept a volume, the firm takes pains to let the poet know himself the recipient of charity of no mean kind.
