AGAINST THE COLD by Witter Bynner

AGAINST THE COLD

By

Pub Date: Oct. 1st, 1940
Publisher: Knopf

A new collection of lyrics, subjective, swift, soft-toned, moods, and fancies expressed in interesting verse forms. None of the mordant, wry little satirical poems such as those included in his Guest Book. The themes are three-fold; pastoral, love, death, with a predominance of poems centering on the mortality of men and decay. Bynner has a predictable following, as a pleasing, graceful minor poet.
