Abstract

New England Devils
Kirchwey, Freda | March 27, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

At a moment when narrative poetry is attracting publishers and public interest-after surviving a period of general suspicion and downright dislike- Mary Alice Kimball's volume "The Devil Is a Woman" is an interesting contribution to the art. This group of poems is better narrative than it is poetry. It includes two long stories, the title poem and "The Mating-Flight of Stasia Whitsett," together with several shorter poems which are also stories or fragments of stories. These tales are told in crisp New England vernacular; only once in a while is colloquial realism, sacrificed to the exigencies of meter or the poetic use of words.
