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. Plaster Saints BY ISRAEL ZANGWILL. Cloth, 12mo. $1.25 net. 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. Earth Triumphant and Other Tales in Verse BY CONRAD AIKEN _Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net_ Conrad Aiken is one of the first America
