This article presents information about various books related to poetry. The book "Modern American Poetry," edited by Louis Untermeyer, traces a current which first shows its trend about 1890, though its impulse is farther back, in the work of Walt Whitman. It marks a departure from the older poetry which the editor describes as remote from experience, mythological, moralizing, legendary, and classical. The book "A Treasury of War Poetry" is George Herbert Clarke's second gleaning, and a volume of pocket size from which Clarke has had to exclude material he would willingly have retained, yet it is surprisingly comprehensive, and well selected too.
