satire on the Hitler regime. $1.00

Readers who know Lorca only by a few of his famous poems will
welcome:

A Permanen.t Poet
THE GIANT WEAPON
by
Yvor Winters

cause he writes in conventional forms, but this collection of his best
work shows plainly that he is among the handful of really perma–
nent poets alive today. This is not a blurb; this is a fact. $1.00
