Borderlands and Thoroughfares
BY WILFRID WILSON GIBSON,
Author of "Daily Bread," "Fires,"
"Womenkind," etc. Cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net.
With the publication of _Daily Bread_ Mr. Gibson was hailed as a
new poet of the people. _Fires_, his later volume, confirmed the
impression that here was a man whose writing was close to real
life, a man in whom were combined a sympathy and appreciation of
humankind with a rare lyrical genius. This present book continues
the work which Mr. Gibson can do so well. In it are brought
together three plays and a number of short lyrics which reveal
again his very decided talent. It is a collection which should
indeed gratify those students of modern verse who are looking to
such men as Gibson and Masefield for permanent and representative
contributions to literature.

A new play of deep social significance.
The Melting Pot
BY ISRAEL ZANGWILL. Revised edition. Cloth, 12mo.
This is a revised edition of what is perhaps Mr. Zangwill's most
popular play. Numerous changes have been made in the text, which
has been considerably lengthened thereby. The appeal of the drama
to the readers of this country is particularly strong, in that it
deals with that great social process by which all nationalities are
blended together for the making of the real American.
Sword Blades and Poppy Seed
BY AMY LOWELL, Author of "A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass."
Boards, 12mo. $1.25 net.
Of the poets who to-day are doing the interesting and original
work, there is no more striking and unique figure than Amy Lowell.
The foremost American member of the "Imagists"--a group of poets
that includes William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Ford Madox
Hueffer--she has won wide recognition for her writing in new and
free forms of poetical expression. Miss Lowell's present volume of
poems, "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed," is an unusual book. It
contains much perhaps that will arouse criticism, but it is a new
note in American poetry. Miss Lowell has broken away from academic
traditions and written, out of her own time, real singing poetry,
free, full of new effects and subtleties.
