Awakening Due
American Verse
Junior Poets Giue Prom Use
OF Achieuing g Greatness
In Their Work

American poetry is dead, dying or likely
to die from the contamination Of vers
libre"
We don't believe word of this But
we've seen it written so much that We
can't resist the impulse 10 join in and
also hold our little kerosene torch against
the free vcrsifers. We have a "hunch"
that Amcricsf poetry is a kind Of Car
gantua that is going TO get out OF its
cradle and stand on two feet shortly.
And that the foot that It puts forward
may be a vers librc foot. But lunches"
are poor things TO back-even with mere
words. We know. But we will pick up
nerve enough to say that the color Of
the subject should dictate verse form.
The "Idyls of the King" wouldn't look
pretty in Sandburg or Masters verse. But,
by the same semaphore, the Chi" under
world of Carl and the brutal smslltoWn
poignancies of Edgar L. NJ would prob
ably lose were they not clothed in rasp-
ing, splintering unrhythms. Thinking vcrsi-
hcation here would be like vanishing
slab Of fresh-cut lumber. If poem maker
enables you to look into the window OF
another life, gives you new clear picture
it seems to US that his work is good
whether he writes in the meter OF Mother
Goose, Homer or Ezra Pound And our
junior poets are doing this thing quite
consistently. Mentioning Mr.. Pound, here
is provocative and quaint lyric Of his:
Sing we for lose and idlcncss,
Naught else is worth the having
ThOuph I have brcr IN, -
There is nsught else in living
And ! would rather have my sweet
Though rose leaves die Of grieving,
Than do high deeds in Hungary to pass
all mems believing
And here is a bit OF slashing free vers,
by H. D. 1t is called Storm" and the
rush Of the wind is in it:
You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch
the branch IS white,
the green IS crushed,
each leaf is rent like split wood
ou burden the trees
with black drops,
you swirl and crash
you have broken of weighted leaf
in the wind
IT is hurled out
whIrls up and sinks,
green stone
Here is a bit from E A Robinson
about Lincoln that is surely in the great
manner:
For he, to whom we had applied
Our shopman's test Of ege and worth,
Was elemental when he died,
AS he was ancient at his birth;
The saddeSt among kings OF men
Bowed with a CALLING crown, this man
Met rancor with a cryptic mirth
Laconic and Olympian
So ends our brief for everybody
