Poets Who Publish Their Poems.


The paihos or really rear-starring part OF the
copyright records relates to poetry. There are
more books of poems in the National Library
IMAM the most careful and diIgent student OF
american literature can imagine, and the sad
thlng about II is that by all ODDS the greatest
number OF these books are published by the
authors themselves. In every other class of
literature the copyrighted publications are
mostly by large publishing houses, and
the writers appear to have more or less the
support OF the reading public; but the poor poet,
VINO appears TO be the most persistent OF all pro-
Quceis, appears to have TO feed upon his own
fancles and pay his own bills. be the publish
ers as discriminating as they may, the copy
right law has no favorites. aud permits all who
produce to claim the right of exclusive publca-
ton, and In the Congressional Library the
volumes OF The poetasters stand proudly by the
SIDE OF the works OF genius. Thousands OF
volumes OF Poems published by the author''
stand upon the shelves, and it is a revelation
how many men and women who would not at
tempt to write in prose think that their wild
fancies in regular rhyme and stilted meter
are worth preserving In print for posterity. In
this class is found the very poorest example of
literary effort. The number of productions of
truly good poetry in this country il, however.
increasing with considerable rapidity.
