IMPORTANT NEW POETRY 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 Chi- cago. 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 to- gether 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 mystas 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.
