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 canne>t,"
wrote to Allan Dowling, "I hope more considerable things from you in
poetry and in literature than from any young man I have rilet." And, in
a letter to Shaw, Harris wrote, "Dowling is the ablest Am.erican I have
seen in these long years."
JOHN MACY, one of the outstanding critics of the time, wrote, "Your
poems have one fundamental quality: ther sound as
if
you meant them,
as
if
they originated in a real emotiona impulse, a feeling, idea, and
were not made merely by electrical light and the determination to write
verse. When do we see the next volume7"
A Poet's Youth is the "next volume." It contains a selection of verse cov–
ering a period of sixteen years.
It
is hands<>mely printed. The price is $2.50.
