HOMEWARD TO AMERICA

By

Pub Date: Jan. 15th, 1939
Publisher: Holt

Poems of America, modern in feeling and technique, about various parts of America, the mid-west, the city, points here, points there. Parts of it are good, there's a strength of thought and phrase, but occasionally his modernisms are strained forced to the point of artificiality. A few topical poems, on contemporary issues, beneath it all a liberal awareness of contemporary ills.
