narrative poem "Fight: The Tale of a Gunner," and a series of
powerful poems dealing with the great struggle in Europe. Few
war-poems of the many published in this country and England reveal
such sincerity, force and imagery, as these of Mr. MacKaye. Among
them are "American Neutrality," "Peace," "Wilson," "Louvain,"
"Rheims," "The Muffled Drums," "Magna Carta," "France," "A Prayer
of the Peoples," etc. The second section (Peace) includes his
widely read poems, "Goethals," "Panama Hymn," "School," "The Heart
in the Jar," and other representative work. The volume is an
important addition to Mr. MacKaye's long list of books and a
valuable contribution to the poetry of our time.

"The real poetical imagination of it is unchangeable; the allegory,
subtle and profound and yet simple, is cast into the form of a
dramatic narrative, which moves with unconventional freedom to a
finely impressive climax; and the reader, who began in idle
curiosity, finds his intelligence more and more engaged until, when
he turns the last page, he has the feeling of one who has been
moving in worlds not realized, and communing with great if
mysterious presences."

In the readings which he has given throughout the country Mr.
Lindsay has won the approbation of the critics and of his audiences
in general for the new verse form which he is employing. The
wonderful effects of sound produced by his lines, their relation to
the idea which the author seeks to convey and their marvelous
lyrical quality are something, it is maintained, quite out of the
ordinary and suggest new possibilities and new meanings in poetry.
In this book are presented a number of Mr. Lindsay's most daring
experiments, that is to say they _were_ experiments when they were
first tried; they have been more than justified by their reception.
It is believed that the volume will be one of the most discussed of
all the year's output.
