The article presents an overview of several books. "Poems of Earth's Meaning," by Richard Burton, "Poems of Charles Warren Stoddard," "The Poems of H. C. Bunner," "Greenstone Poems by Witter Bynner," "Loves and Losses of Pierrot," by William Griffith, "Sonnets and Lyrics," by Nancy K. Foster. Richard Burton's new volume belongs to that interior kind of verse in which the spirit becomes its own guest and listener. Charles Warren Stoddard, who died in 1909, is a poet whom the future is likely to stint, if not to starve, for no better reason than that his press output in verse is meagre, and that he has fathered no poem that is separately memorable.
