The Cutting of an Agate

_12mo, $1.50_

"Mr. Yeats is probably the most important as well as the most widely known of the men concerned directly in the so-called Celtic renaissance. More than this, he stands among the few men to be reckoned with in modern poetry."--_New York Herald._

The Green Helmet and Other Poems

_Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25_

The initial piece in this volume is a deliciously conceived heroic farce, quaint in humor and sprightly in action. It tells of the difficulty in which two simple Irish folk find themselves when they enter into an agreement with an apparition of the sea, who demands that they knock off his head and who maintains that after they have done that he will knock off theirs. There is a real meaning in the play which it will not take the thoughtful reader long to discover. Besides this there are a number of shorter poems, notably one in which Mr. Yeats answers the critics of "The Playboy of the Western World."

Lyrical and Dramatic Poems

In Two Volumes

The Quest

By JOHN G. NEIHARDT

Author of "The Song of Hugh Glass"

Here are brought together the more important of Mr. Neihardt's poems. For some years there have been those--and prominent critics, too--who have quite emphatically maintained that there is no greater American poet than Mr. Neihardt, that in him are found those essentials which make for true art--a feeling for words, a lyric power of the first quality, an understanding of rhythm. Here, for example, is the comment of the _Boston Transcript_ on the book just preceding this, _The Song of Hugh Glass:_ "In this poem Mr. Neihardt touches life, power, beauty, spirit; the tremendous and impressive forces of nature.... The genius of American poetry is finding itself in such a poem as this.... The poem is powerfully poetic.... It is a big, sweeping thing blazing a pathway across the frontiers of our national life."

Californians

By ROBINSON JEFFERS

California is now to have its part in the poetry revival. Robinson Jeffers is a new poet, a man whose name is as yet unknown but whose work is of such outstanding character that once it is read he is sure of acceptance by those who have admired the writings of such men as John G. Neihardt, Edgar Lee Masters, Edwin Arlington Robinson and Thomas Walsh. Virtually all of the poems in this first collection have their setting in California, most of them in the Monterey peninsula, and they realize the scenery of the great State with vividness and richness of detail. The author's main source of inspiration has been the varying aspects of nature.

The New Poetry: An Anthology

Edited by HARRIET MONROE and ALICE CORBIN HENDERSON, Editors of _Poetry_

Probably few people are following as closely the poetry of to-day as are the editors of the _Poetry Magazine_ of Chicago. They are eminently fitted, therefore, to prepare such a volume as this, which is intended to represent the work that is being done by the leading poets of the land. Here, between the covers of one book, are brought together poems by a great many different writers, all of whom may be said to be responsible in a measure for the revival of interest in poetry in this country.

The Story of Eleusis

By LOUIS V. LEDOUX

This is a lyrical drama, in the Greek manner, dealing with the story of Persephone. Mr. Ledoux has constructed such a play as might well have held the attention of the assembled mystae at Eleusis. It is Greek. Better than this, it is also human. Its beauty and its truthfulness to life will appeal alike to the lover of classical and the lover of modern dramatic poetry.
