PREFACE BY CARMEN SYLVIA
Queen Of Roumanla Writes Introduction
for New Book OF Verse by Arthur
UpSOn

Arthur Epson has returned from sum-
mer spent in camping at the lower pail
sades of the Cedar river, in Iowa. He
has transferred his residence to Mime
apolis and is living in the Savoy on First
avenue S.
Two new volumes of Mr.. Epson have
been announced by Edmund D. Brooks,
the Minneapolis publisher for publicatio
in October. These are "Octaves in an o.
ford Garden" and West Wind Songs"
The "Octaves in an Oxford Garden
thirty in number. were composed in Wad-
ham College garden, Oxford, early in the
Autumn of 1900. They have been richly
decorated by Miss Marguerite E. Heisser,
who has also lettered each page in pecu-
liarly effective imitation of medieval il
lumined manuscript. Miss Heisser's de-
signs reproduced by means of some
thirty-five engraved plates, the edition
being limited to $50 copies on handmade
paper and twenty-five copies on Japan
paper. five of which will be hand -illumined
in coors, and bound in full crushed Le-
want.
These Octaves present the rare Septem-
Der phase of life in Oxford, and are full of
the repose and charm of one of the most
delightful Of all classic gardens.
west Wind Songs" takes it's sugges-
ton from an interesting correspondence
between the young Minneapolis poet and
Carmen Sylvia, queen of Roumania. II
has a beautiful prose-poem introduction
by the queen! The new poems are grouped
under four heads: l., Heart and Soil; II.
Ex-Libris; Ill, e-Leaves; ", Beyond
the Hills.
