Lyrics and Meditations, by Philip Becker Goetz. Privately printed.
This book presents the literary exercises of a gentleman and a scholar who turns to poetry for an outlet to feeling and thought without demanding or expecting the excitement of intense inspiration or wide and sympathetic appeal. One wishes he would use a more modern diction, and ease off certain other formalities of style, thereby giving greater play to his sensitive imaginings. This is Mr. Goetz' fifth book of verse, two of these being plays.
January Garden, by Melville Cane. Harcourt, Brace & Co.
Mr. Cane's verse, one feels, is hardly more than an extension of his conversation, or rather of that sort of mental soliloquy, endless and intelligible, to which many an over-civilized person succeeds in reducing his consciousness. Certainly one feels only rarely the force of any such creative agency in intellect or emotion as might give lyric meaning or formal direction to the poems. For the most part, the book is fragmentary and amateurish.
