The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1898-01-27

An Eastern periodical has been trying to
answer the question, do people read poet
ry?" and to that end has interviewed pub
fishers and various literary persons sup
posed to have information on the subject.
The conclusion drawn from the data so ia
boriously gained is to the effect that they
do read it, OF course they do, but it was
hardly necessary to take such pains to find
out A little reflection and observation
would have answered as we'll A magazine
or newspaper editer must be aware, if he
will stop to think, that if only those people
read poetry who write 1t a large proportion
of the population may be classed as readers.
Perhaps the readers of other peoples poet
ny are hardly SO numerous, but there is no
doubt that poetry is widely read and is ia
Vorably regarded by persons who make no
literary pretensions. Ask the very domestic
woman or the woman in a remote farm
house if she keeps a scrapbook and she
will, in all probability, acknowledge having
thus preserved a few pieces of poetry
taken, the most of them, from the one
weekly paper that comes to her home. The
club woman reads poetry, of course; she
has to if she would stand we'll, but it is not
so certain that she engages in the perusaI
for personal enjoyment. 1t is sometimes be-
cause she must know about tone color
and who the "poet-prophets" are and what
Browning meant, and what Whitman was
driving at, and all the rest Of the poet-lore-
but she reads it, and the club woman, as
we all know, makes up good part of the
community. What she reads and processes
to like is. of course, only that class of
verse admitted by magazine editors to be
poetry, and it is not exclusively this which
is meant when it is asserted that all men
and women read more or less poetry The
verses that the woman out on the farm
has in her scrapbook, that even the club
woman has tucked away in her desk, or
her pocketbook. along with samples OF silk,
or that the man of business carries in his
vest pocket until the bit OF paper is worn
out. would not always pass muster with the
critics. Their meter may sometimes be
faulty, the thoughts may be mere plati-
