A POET'S YOUTH
By ALLAN DOWLING
Twenty years ago, Frank Harris, about whom George Bernard Shaw said,
"He can bend the bow of Ulysses and other critics cannot," wrote to Allan
Dowling, "I hope more considerable things from you in poetry and in
literature tha n. from any young man I have met." And, in a lettel' to Shaw.
Harris wrote, "Dowling is the ablest American I have seen, in these long
years."
John Macy, one of the outstanding critics of the time, wrote, "Your poems
have one fundamental quality: they sound as if you meant them, as if they
originated in a real emotional impulse,
&
feeling, idea, and were not made
merely by electric light and the determination to write verse. When
do we see the next volume7"

It
selection of verse eov–
ering a period of sixteen years.
It
is handsomely printed. The Price is $2.50.

ness." HORACE GREGORY
