Selected Lyrics, by Amelia Josephine Burr. George H. Doran Co.
These poems will be familiar to many who read the standard magazines and the women's periodicals in which they have been widely published. A book so filled with sound sense and bright ideas should be easier to read than this one. One difficulty is with the poet's untrained ear.
Prophet of a Nameless God, by Joseph Kinmont Hart. Harold Vinal (publisher)
As a theological or philosophical modern interpretation of the biblical story of Elijah, this book may have value – we do not pretend to say. But we are fairly sure that as a poem it has none; it turns the grand old tale, so briefly told in the Books of the Kings, into 178 pages of futile wordiness.
