The Little Book Of Modern Verse A Selection Of The Work Of Contemporaneous American Poets

1913. From the Foreword: The Little Book of Modern Verse, as its name implies, is not a formal anthology. The pageant of American Poetry has been so often presented that no necessity exists for another exhaustive review of the art. Nearly all anthologies, however, stop short of the present group of poets, or represent them so inadequately that only those in close touch with the trend of American literature know what the poet of today is contributing to it. Some of the poets represented in this volume include: Joyce Kilmer, Richard Burton, Alice Brown, George Cabot Lodge, Sara Teasdale, George Santayana, Edwin Markham, James Whitcomb Riley, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and John G. Neihardt.
