by Miss LILIAN HARRISON : Modern American
Poetry '
THE literature of America is known over here almost entirely by its playwrights and novelists ; for every hundred who are familiar with the work of Sinclair Lewis or Eugene O'Neill it would be hard to find one who has read the poetry of Carl Sandburg or Edna St. Vincent Millay. But modern American poetry is well worth getting acquainted with, particularly in the department of free verse, and this evening's reading will give listeners an interesting selection of the writings of some typical contemporary poets from the other side.
