This article literally appraises several books. Historians of early twentieth-century British and American verse will be glad that the anthologists of this generation were numerous and busy. Hardly a month goes by during which a collection of more or less important poems fails to appear. "An Anthology of Recent Poetry," compiled by L. D'O. Walters, incidentally issued also by Breutano's in elaborate holiday form, with illustrations by Harry Clarke, contains British poems selected for their simplicity, their innocence, and the absence from them of anything which would disturb. The result is a golden treasury for the naive, something between "A Child's Garden of Verses" and "Georgian Poetry."
