DO YOU LIKE BOOKS?

The Harvest Home. the collect
ed works of James u. Kenyon, is a
book of real poetry. The dainty
lyrics and forceful sonnets of this
author, which have been appearing
for many years in various maga-
zines, have been gathered in one
volume. In reading The Harvest
Home" one is struck by the uni
form excellence of. the work con-
tained therein. Mr.. Kenyon re-
CARDS the composition Of poetry as
an art, and being q born lyrist, bis
notes are invariably clear and
melodious. At the same time there is
no studied effort on his part to ad-
here strictly to the rules of ver-
siicatiOn. The simpler verse forms
appeal to him as they did to Whit
tier, and like him, Mr.. Kenyon has
a serene outlook on life, his poems
breathing OF peace and content
ment. He is essentially a nature
poet. and breezes from summer
lands blow across his pages. and
one hears in his songs the strains
of the-wood birds. A dreamer and
an idealist, he has brought to his
art the authentic poetic tempera-
ment. New York, James T. White
