Poems From a Pennsyl-
vanian

dozen and a half of subjects are care
fully and capably poetized In a little
volume entitled, "Resurgam: Poems and
LYRICS" by o. r. Howard Thomson, OF
Williamsport, Pa. CWilliam f. Bains'
publisher). All of the subjects are poetic
and Mr.. Thomson's handling of them is,
in almost every instance, simple, musical
and inspired. There is genuine feeling
and beauty in the Introductory poem'
"Resurgam," lyrical verses anent the in
toxicating spring, with an original touch
too, though countless bards have count
less times held sweet converse with the
eager Unsuitable Muse of Spring.
In 'Resurgam" and in "Lilith" the
Pennsylvania poet has sung more sweet
ly, with lovely rhythm In the one and
clear colorful vision In the other, than In
any of the other poems In the volume.
In "IIlith" there is strength and beauty
of imagination. Descriptive lines glow
vigorously and there is keen atmospheric
feeling in Lilith's picture of the sadly
waning Eden, when as last night the
moon grew old"

"TempIes and Tabernacles" is interest

The poems and lyrics of o. r. Howard
