Faith Van Valkenburgh Villas
winner of the 1899 award of the
Poetry Society of America, for her
poem, Oak Swing" and author OF
many volumes of poetry that have
been acclaimed by critics here and
abroad, will be the guest of the
Washington Club Tuesday. At that
time, she will give readings from a
group of her selected poems set to
music of her own composition. John
Heath, noted pianist. will interpret
the music for her poetry.
This distinguished modern poet
and musician believes poetry is a
necessary part of a world at war.
AS proof, she cites two instances in
her own family. A Confederate
captain, her uncle, Carrot Smith
Van .Valkenburgh. was we'll known
during the Civil War for the way
in which he kept his men inspired
and full of courage during periods
of privation by reading Coleridge
and other poets around their camp
fires.
Another relative. Franklin Van
Valkenburgh, her nephew, United
States Navy. who as captain of the
Inflated Arizona, went down so
violently on his bridge at Pearl
Harbor, always kept books of poetry
on his cabin shelves.
Great poetry" he would declare,
according to Mrs. Villas, constitutes
the only reading commensurate with
the dignity and vastness of the sea-"
Hope. Courage and Faith.
Poetry" Mrs. Villas says, can
bring hope, courage and faith as
measuring stick to live by, and
promise to die for, not only to those
who are in our armed forces just
now, but to those whose responsible
ity is confined to a narrower sphere
of action
In addition to being the author
Of five collected volumes of poetry
and IA successful plays published in
the United States and in foreign
countries, she has set some 40 Of
her poems to music, and has writ
ten the music for two-act play,
The Maker Of Souls" and her
children's opera. "Goldilocks"
A Christmas play, "Fait Lux" Diet

by the Atlantic Monthly and in
Braille for the blind It has reached
sale of thousands OF copies in
this country and in England.

wings of the voice, it does not be-

Sung by Famous Artists.
Her ballads and lyrics have been
set to music by such composers as
Russell Wragg, Robert Huntington

Recipient of diversified honors
and awards, she has lectured on
poetry and given readings from her
poems at Columbia University. the
