AMERICAN POETRY WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION. — Body and Raiment. By Eunice Tietjens.
(New York : Alfred A. Knopf.) —Mrs. Tietjens has not in this book achieved the high standard she set herself in her first book, the remarkable Profiles from China, which we noticed at length last spring. A new poem from her pen appears in another column.—Wilder- nese Songs. By Grace Hazard Conkling. (New York : Henry Holt and Co.)—Wilderness Songs contains, besides some attractive, if rather mild, Nature poems, a really beautiful poem to a child entitled "With Hilda in the Wood."—Mountain Interval. By Robert Frost. (New York : Same publishers. S1.25.)—Mr. Robert Frost is a writer of great accomplishment, and this volume contains a number of poems of refined and beautiful workmanship. If space allows, we hope to return to this volume at a later date.—Flame and Shadow. By Sara Teesdale. (New York : The Macmillan Co.)—The appearance of this book has been hailed as one of the literary events of the autumn season in America. To the present writer it seems sound rather than remarkable.
