Modern American Poetry
Louis Untermeyer Plays No
Favorites in His ANTHOLOGY

MODERN AMERICAN POETRY. BY Louis
Untermeyer. Harcourt, Brace &: Howe
New York.
During the last few decades Amer
lea has produced a remarkable amount
of good poetry without single great
poet. This fact speaks we'll for the
hourishing estate of the art. A great
poet, a genius, is gift often bestowed
upon a deaf and unseeing generation
that is good without being touched
with the divine fire reveals healthy
widespread interest in poetry that
promises we'll for the future. Mr.. Un-
termeyer undertakes his anthology of
modern American verso with robust
faith in the enduring value of his sub
ject matter. In his introduction he
says:
"America's poetic renascence' is no
longer phrase; it is a fact. The last
few decades have witnessed sudden
and amazing growth in the volume, as
we'll as in the quality, of the work of
our poets. A new spirit, energetic,
alert, penetrative, seems to have stirred
these states, and countryful Of writ
ers has responded to it, No longer
confined to one or two literary cen
ters, the impulse to create is every
where; there is scarcely remote cor
ner which has not produced it's lau-
reate."
Perhaps the outstanding feature Of
the collection is its comprehensiyeness
Within the compass of 1870 poems, many
OF them quite short, Mr.. Untermeyer
mas secured representation for seventy
poets. In some cases he seems to sac
rlilce discrimination to catholicity of
selection; from the standpoint of pure

OF Riley and Frost and Masters and

oook. But the marshaling of a large
number OF authors, the mediocre with
Ihe good, gives perhaps a truer and
broader picture of American poetry.
with its defects as we'll as it's vir,
tues.
by arranging the anthology in chron
ologlcal form Mr.. Untermeyer presents
a VIVID picture Of the development Of
American poetry from Emily Dickin
son ana Edwin Markham to Maxwell
bodenhelm and Alfred Kreymborg.
by setting down the poets in the order
OF their birth the author shows the
gradual change in the ideals of crafts
manshlp that has been taking place
during the last fifty years. Stilted
phr,aseol,ogy gives way to natural
spoken language; preciosity yields to
rough realism; lines that are carefully
beaten out in fixed rhythms are sue
cceeded by varied and more or less dar
ing. experiments in metrical effects.
Various types of American poetry
are admirably illustrated in seven
poems about Lincoln which Mr.. Inter
meyer includes in the anthology
Edwin Markham and Edwin Arlington

personal resentment. "The end of my
career and my faith in my people," he
says, "was to see the war lost by weak
ness, blindness and party spirit"
Tirpitz's book is devoted, in the
broader sense, to a justification Of his
theory that Germany's political future
and her ability to maintain her posi-
ton as great power depended upon
the creation of navy strong enough
to challenge Great ,Britain's. This
theory was an exceedingly dangerous
one to work on. The results proved it
to be illusory. In the final analysis
German sea power, used Extensively, lost
the war for Germany. Strongly as
Tirpitz was committed to the doctrine,
his faith in it seems to have been
shaken at times. He admits that "the
unfortunate outbreak and course of the
war" may justify to history those who
hold the opposite view. 81 should not
have built fleet for my country with
all my heart" he writes, "if had not
believed in its 1.-THE country'sl ability
Perhaps l was deceived in this. The
standardization Of our democracy at
least raises the suspicion that l de-
ceived myself as to the inner forces of
the nation" That is a notable confess
sion, wrung from the authors despair.
Tirpitz, as has been noted, had no
part in the control or operation of the
German navy. He is, therefore, all the
more frank in his criticisms of the pol
icies which were pursued. And his
Judgment seems sound as to details.
He would have had the high sea feet
seek battle very early in the war,
when German inferiority was less con-
siderable than it was in 1916. He al
ways favored unlimited U-boat warfare
But he rightly says that if Germany
was going to pursue warfare of that
sort she ought to have begun on a
more modest scale in 1915, and greatly
intensified her campaign in 1916. He
severely condemns the concessions
made to the United States after the
Lusitania incident and again after the
Sussex incident. And there can be lit
tie question that Germany would have
Jared better if she had fought the u
boat warfare issue out with President
Wilson in 1915, when he was manifestly
to be elbowed into war.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-17
By Rebecca Drucker

gouTns pubshsa pAhsFS BY B. fanas1h
These political essays by Randolph
Bourne, which have been gathered into
a volume under the challenging title
"Untimely Papers," are brilliant cx-
pressions of the minority intellectual
opinion on the war. The anger of the
conformist and the loyalist will rise
swift to meet this bitter criticism of
our war motiohs-but not 80 swiftly
or with as much conviction as it might
have twelve months ago. We have
been slowly emerging from our ro-
mantle fling Of war and paying for
our expressive lessons in realistic
thinking with some disillusioning cx-
periences. Our faith in the wholesale
regenerating power Of war has been
little shaken. Since those earlier
days when liberals and conservatives
alike were borne on the resistless
sweep of conviction that all scores
for all time were to be settled by this
war a cruel doubt has entered our
souls.
Bourne's essays appeared in "The
Seven Arts Magazine" during 1917.
When that periodical suspended pub
llcatlon there remained no medium
through which to express his resistance
to the disintegrating effects of the war
on modern thinking. Until he died in
December, 1919, he was a silent satiric
spectator, pacifist objector, who was
ironically enough, beyond the reach of
the exasperated conservative, because
life had started him out with a cruel
physical handicap. The humiliating
necessity that most inteNectuas have
been under of learning to balance
themselves on new planes of shifting
values--the conversion to Wilsonian
liberalism and the recanting when
Wilsonian liberalism proved quicksand
that agile casuistry of the native
born radical was never his. What he
was in the beginning he was in the
end-an outstanding dissenter against
the submergence of humanistic values
IN the business of war.
Significantly enough, there is no
word of horror in all these essays for
the physical ravages of the war. The
psychic effect Of panic and hatred on
the home keeping population seemed to
him far more subversive of civilization
than the physical destruction of battles.
Nor did the spiritual recrudencence of
the war seem to compensate for this.
Pacifst or no pacitist, 1t was, after all.
difficult not to be aware throughout the
flood of charity motivated by the war
that "hearts that had felt only ugly
contempt for democratic strivings at
home beat in tune with the struggle for
freedom abroad"
Like the hypothetical young man in
his third essay, Below the Battle"
bourne had no imagination to see a
healed world order built out of the
shoddy materials of armament, diplo-
macy and liberal craftsmanship. And
isolated as he was from the slogans of
the war, philosophically immune from
its flooding emotions. there was abun-
dart fuel for the flame of his irony in
the debris of wrecked ideas that each
tide of battle cast up. He saw the lib
erals coaxed in on the policy of a
strategy that should win BY its ire
