Onrica Porray.—Renaseence. By Edna St. Vincent Millay. (New York :

Mitchell Kennerley.) Second April. (Same author and publisher. $2.00.)—Miss Millay writes with a sim- plicity worthy of the great tradition she follows. She is not a progressive, but it is not unsafe to prophesy that her future work will form a by no means negligible backwater in American poetry. Her lyrics, slight as they are, have the true ring, and she has written some admirable sonnets. Renascence Is her best known volume.—Poems in Dialect. By R. R. C. Gregory. (Somerset Folk Press, 16 Harpur Street, W.C. 1. 2s. 2d., with postage.)—Mr. Gregory has all the naivete and shy humour of a Somerset man. Though never attaining to Barnes' Virgilian pathos, Mr. Gregory's verse has often a music which bears comparison with the Poems in the Dorselshire Verses. By William C. Braithwaite. (The Swarthmore Press. 5a net.)—Some humorous verse with a flavour of Andrew Lang and a few serious poems call for attention in this posthumous volume.
