OTHER Porn:tr.—The Cud. By Lancelot de Giberne Sieveking. (Mills and
Boon. 5s. net.)—Everyone will remember Mr. Sieveking's two entertaining volumes of humorous verse. The old soldier of Dover Fort who mopped up the Channel, the charwoman who went to sea on an L.C.C. tram, and similar extravagances showed that Mr. Sieveking has a keen sense of the absurd and considerable ability to express it. The present collection of his more serious verse has not the same airy originality—but it has vigour and enthusiasm and it is never dead or dull.—The Sweet Miracle, and Other Poems. By W. Force Stead. (R. Cobden-Sanderson. 6s. net.) —The title poem, based on a Portuguese story of Christ, is not wholly successful, but some of the shorter poems, in which the influence of Mr. Blunden can be seen, are of interest. —.Kam. By Ruth Manning-Sanders. (Hogarth Press. 3s. 6d. net.)—A cover of gold encloses a narrative poem in which the presence of baser metal is not unapparent.
