Abstract

A Poet Lapses
Edman, Irwin | June 17, 1925 issue

The article presents information about the book "Tutankhamen and After," by William Ellery Leonard. Leonard's conception of poetry, is that the spirit of it is for both creator and reader an experience in honest and noble living. Throughout his poems one feels the presence and weight of honest feeling and poetic magnitude of intention. There is hardly a page which does not seem to flow from a candid and live intelligence. Leonard, who on occasion can control an organ-music, has preserved some pieces which for at least one carefully listening ear have no music at all. Occasionally there is an unmistakably inventive phrase.
