POEMS WORTHY OF CONSIDEBATiox.-Poems of Home and Overseas. Compiled by
Charles Williams and V. H. Collins, (H. Milford. 3s. net.)---An enterprising and attractive anthology. Considerable space is given to modern poetry. Five poems by Edward Thomas, for instance, are included, among them " Adlestrop " and " Lob." This should be an excellent poetry book for schools.—Epitaphs. By Lady Margaret Sackville. (Edin- burgh : William Brown. 5s. net.)—One or two of these epitaphs have appeared in the columns of the Spectator. With few ex- ceptions they are skilfully constructed and so varied in character that to read this little book from cover to cover is by no means the sombre process it might have been.—Northern Numbers. Edited by C. M. Grieve. (T. N. Foulis. Os. net.)—A selection of verse by contemporary Scottish writers. This is the second year Northern Numbers has appeared. Twice as many contribu. tors are represented in this volume, so it may well claim to be more representative than the first. However, for certain more important reasons, the compiler would have done' well to follow the example of Oxford Poetry for 1921, and limit rather than extend the anthology.—Glinting Dandelions. By A. Newberry Choyce. (E. MacDonald. 5s. net.)—An original and extremely interesting little volume.
