Excerpt from American British Verse: From the Yale Review In these few pages, there are English and American poems standing side by side. Here is Masefield singing of the change that alters all things, a theme as old as poetry itself. Here is a great New England poet's beauti ful tribute to the memory of the friend whom he, and English literature, lost because of the war. Here is the frail, delicate intensity of Sara Teasdale to be contrasted with the rich, swooning loveliness of Sassoon. Here is the breezy buoyance of Nichols and the ironic bravado of Bodenheim. And here, too, is my own efiort to add something to the well-merited crown of glory which a great English poet-novelist has attained on his eightieth birthday. This little collection is not an ordinary group of poems; it is a link between two nations, an emblem of growth, a proof that poetry is still being written in the English tongue.
