Extremes and Moderations: A Historical Archive of Los Angeles and Southern California Poetry

THE TEXT/TECH PAPERS

Index

Lyric West - An Index of Poets is a working guide to the people and writing connected with The Lyric West. It gathers 1902 named entries into one searchable volume so readers do not have to reconstruct the journal one issue at a time. The book is meant for ordinary use: looking up a writer, checking whether a title appeared, following a name across several issues, or simply browsing until an unfamiliar entry sparks curiosity. It can support detailed research, but it does not require a researcher’s habits or vocabulary.

The index turns a long and scattered publication history into a clear set of names, titles, dates, and references. Its entries are most useful when treated as starting points. One name may lead to several poems; a title may point back to a particular issue; a short descriptive note may suggest another writer worth following. The volume does not ask readers to move from first page to last. It is built for jumping, comparing, checking, and returning, with the alphabetical or listed order providing a dependable path whenever one is needed. That practical design keeps the focus on discovery rather than on cataloging rules.

Among the names represented are Addison, Medora C, Ainslie, Caroline, Algert, Bernardine, Allen, Dorothy Hoskins, Altrocchi, Julia Cooley, Ames, Lucile Perry, Anderson, William H, Arata, Oliver S, Armstrong, Nelchen, Arnstein, Flora J, Ashley, Lillah A, and Atkins, Lois, with 616 additional contributors recorded elsewhere in the volume. That range is the point. A journal’s history is larger than its best-known writers, and an index makes the less familiar names visible beside the familiar ones. Readers can use those crossings to assemble their own paths through a place, a period, a circle of writers, or a recurring subject.

The catalog connects the volume with Los Angeles literary culture, American poetry, Little magazines, California, Desert, and Sea and coast. These labels make discovery easier, but the index remains open-ended. Brian Kim Stefans prepared the volume for Text/Tech Journals, with Los Angeles, California given as its place of publication. Names and titles have been gathered into a consistent record so that readers can move from the reference volume to the related reading editions without having to decode several different cataloging styles. The emphasis is on clarity, useful cross-connections, and the pleasure of finding more than the item originally sought.

A simple way to begin is to choose one familiar name, read the entries around it, and then follow one neighboring name into the journal. Another is to search for a place, subject, or title word and see what appears across the volume. Reader’s edition: 128 PDF pages. The digital edition uses clear typography and a stable page size for screen reading or download. Source scans used during preparation remain private and are not included in the public upload. What appears here is the finished reference copy: not a substitute for the writing, but a friendly map that helps readers reach it.

  • Short poems, eight to sixteen lines, in loose ballad quatrains rhyming abcb, on lost love, wind and stillness. The method is fixed: a plainly worded opening turned in the last two lines to a bleak reversal, “Always I hear rain falling upon my grave.” Ellipses everywhere Twilight — Dalton, Power [Contribution, p. 15]

  • Best in the Italian sonnet: one dated 1769 puts the San Antonio’s sails off Point Loma and the Coahuillas kneeling at La Playa; another spends fourteen lines cataloguing the colors of girls’ dancing slippers.

  • Davies, Mary Carolyn [also signed Mary Caroline Davies] Fourteen poems, most of them short-lined rhymed lyrics that repeat an opening phrase as refrain and close on an epigram: Eden as the prison the apple unlocked, a white blackbird’s complaint to God.

  • de Ford, Miriam Allen Unusually various: a sonnet to Shelley, a ballad in long refrained lines, quatrains thanking fate that Keats died young, and best of all a blank-verse monologue for Giovanni Malatesta, lame and jealous, which sustains its speaker’s argument over sixty lines without slackening Santa Cruz — Davis, Martha [Contribution, p. 15]

  • Writes long, and mostly not lyric: blank-verse dramatic monologues spoken by a deranged scientist, a frost-ruined farmer and a sailor come from Madame Butterfly; ballad quatrains of range contest and mountain feud; long-lined public chants on the westward march. Narrative and speech interest her more than song A Song of Three Harbors — Dennen, Grace Atherton [Drama, p. 21-22]

  • Dexter, Ernest [also signed E. G. Dexter] Six poems fixed on the Suisun marshes and Carquinez Strait, in irregularly rhymed lines of varying length; one is a pure imagist inventory of a slough at noon.

  • Lew Sarett, “Shaggy Rambler” Essay — Dillard, Hazelle [Essay, p. 76]
  • Four of the five are sonnets of unusual finish; the rhymes are exact but the sense runs hard across them, and the alliteration is pressed to the edge of comedy, “my poorest palest plum, my paltriest pear.” The argument returns to the fear that wisdom will cost him wonder Three Sonnets — Dillon, George H [Contribution, p. 106]

  • Short and largely conventional: three snatches of song on evening and on naming a beauty, two quatrains of poplars gone into the mist, three envelope-rhymed stanzas for Christmas Eve.

  • Free verse in short unrhymed lines, most of it spoken by or about invented Chinese sages, To Fo, Ku Hung, Emperor T’ang, who bargain with deity, doubt resurrection and drink wine to make immortality credible.

  • To Fo—Passé — Eldridge, Paul [Contribution, p. 27]
  • Elliot, William Foster [also signed William Foster Elliott] Three poems and one prose essay arguing, after Sophocles, that realism kills art. The verse is abstract and rhetorical: an allegory of Art as a scourged woman in alternating long and short quatrains, a couplet epistle to a dancer, and a Petrarchan sonnet on desert nightfall Ars Immortalis — Eldridge, Paul [Essay, p. 17]

  • Six poems built on persona and parable: a long dramatic monologue for a jazz orchestra’s singer, in syncopated quatrains that set her black ancestry against a white audience; an incantatory chant in the voice of the unsown Western land; and short rhymed pieces that end in a sting Prima Donna of the Negro Jazz Orchestra — Elliott, Ellen Coit [Drama, p. 22]

  • From the Water Comes the Fire — Everett, Laura Bell [Contribution, p. 40]
  • No settled manner: a seven-line imagist squib on a juggler, an apostrophe to a glass door-knob, ballad quatrains on flowers. The weight is in A Name, sixty-odd lines of loosely rhymed pentameter narrative opening and closing on the same deathbed and its misremembered name To a Glsss Door-knob — Fagin, N. Bryllion [Contribution, p. 16]

  • Waiting — Farkasch, Hazel [Contribution, p. 21]
  • Farwell, Gertrude Brice [also signed Gertrude Farwell] All free verse, exclamatory: apostrophes to Earth and to a capitalized Thou, and a sequence in a child’s voice about a mother’s singing heart.

  • Four poems, all rhymed and carefully built: a ghost-ship ballad whose narrator turns out to wear the phantom captain’s frown, a sonnet made of factory and freight-train whistles, and a long farewell in fourteen-line stanzas that each close by echoing their own opening lines Voyagers — Faust, Henri [Contribution, p. 178]

  • Reply to Melancholy — Ferl, Emily [Contribution, p. 12]
  • Regular rhymed stanzas, exclamatory and apostrophic, on subjects of development and commerce: the Salton Sea reclaimed for harvest, a banquet toast to “crude virgin oil,” the failing Long Wharf at Port Los Angeles. The manner is that of public occasional verse rather than of lyric Salton Sea — Field, Ben [Contribution, p. 24]
  • Oil — Field, Ben [Contribution, p. 11]

  • Eleven poems, mostly rhymed quatrains with a few free-verse pieces, the diction still reaching for thy and mayhap. Two turn on love across the color line broken by ‘the pride of race’; others take up a grinning skull, a garden hymn with refrain, the soul as a cold nun To a Skull — Field, Wright [Contribution, p. 7]

  • Joyous — Foster, Kate Quinan [Contribution, p. 7]
  • Mostly sonnets, rhymed in the English pattern but freely enjambed, and nearly all on one subject: night, fog and sea, worked through abstract nouns of silence, quiet and peace. Two exceptions are short-lined quatrain conceits, the city as caged tiger, travelers refusing a “grass-bound prison.” Ultimate — Frazee-Bower, Helen [Contribution, p. 24]

  • Life’s Shoes — Frye, Grace [Contribution, p. 6]
  • That Day — Fuller, Elinor [Contribution, p. 145]
  • Short rhymed quatrains and couplets, each built on one sustained figure or a catalogue of equivalences: colors matched to feelings, a verse, the new Willamette bridge being “a nude boy leaping a stream.” Remembered Things — Fuller, Ethel Romig [Contribution, p. 5]

  • God’s Country — Gaines, Frances [Contribution, p. 164]
  • Galahad, Joseph Andrew [also signed Joshph Andrew Galahad] Long-lined rhymed quatrains built on repetition, a whole refrain returning at the close or an anaphora of “Since you are not too” sustained through four stanzas. The subjects are renounced love and travel forbidden him; “Promise” sets out a flat doctrine of rebirth in couplets Long White Roads — Gaines, Frances [Contribution, p. 8]
  • No Roses — Gaines, Frances [Contribution, p. 8]
  • Isolde — Gaines, Frances [Contribution, p. 3]

  • The manner is the catalogue of free-verse images: ten gemstones each given four or five lines, opals as cloud on a hilltop, emeralds as “green paths where poets walk”; smoke colors read as a symphony.

  • Four contributions, one a prose appreciation of Alice Meynell. The three poems share nothing: the desert speaking as a woman to her lovers Sun and Dawn; the trees of a Los Angeles park as guests at an awkward tea; Drake’s ghost rising for England in a refrain ballad Alice Meynell, an Appreciation — Gaw, Ethelean Tyson [Contribution, p. 29]
  • The Desert — Gaw, Ethelean Tyson [Contribution, p. 8]

  • I Would Be Silent — Gaylord, Myrtle Levy [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Six poems, all free verse and all short-lined, in the prairie manner: a wind that will not let a man sit still, heat like “a wavering, sticky web,” a prairie fire recounting its own history from Boone to Cody. “Quarry Workmen” dismisses sentimental singers and calls the stonecutters the poets Winds — Geddes, Virgil [Fiction, p. 14]

  • Tho Oil Field — Giddings, Harrison [Contribution, p. 115]
  • Touring with Anne — Gilbert, Anne Kelledy [Contribution, p. 230]
  • Five poems. The best is a string of questions put to moles, woodchucks and cray-fish, rhymed on double endings. Beatitude catalogues physical pleasures in blank verse, down to “the pitchy taste of pine and juniper.” Two unrelated poems both carry the title Weather Report To the Burrowing Kind — Gilchrist, Marie Emilie [Contribution, p. 19]
  • Dawn Wind — Gilchrist, Marie Emilie [Contribution, p. 19]
  • Weather Report — Gilchrist, Marie Emilie [Contribution, p. 4]
  • Weather Report — Gilchrist, Marie Emilie [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Beatitude — Gilchrist, Marie Emilie [Contribution, p. 24]
  • Works almost entirely in couplets, octosyllabic or heroic. The Watch-Maker Muses expands a watch’s springs and balance-wheel out to the Pleiades and closes on the design argument; After Rain finds heaven in gutter puddles couplet by couplet. Girls at Night in the Park is the one frankly sensual piece The Watch-Maker Muses — Ginsberg, Louis [Contribution, p. 41]
  • After Rain — Ginsberg, Louis [Contribution, p. 135]

  • The strongest hand in the run. Thirteen poems, several in sequence, that watch walkers from above the street and read an identity out of a tread. Sonnets and tight tetrameter quatrains; “syllabled sculpture” is her own name for what she wants Echoes of Her — Hall, Hazel [Contribution, p. 11]

  • Six appearances, including “From a Street Corner” twice, tetrameter couplets on people as snails, each carrying a shell of petty cares. The others are short free verse turning on one conceit: the moon a toy balloon caught in branches, the heart a sealed and haunted house An Old Italian Aria — Hammond, Eleanor [Contribution, p. 17]

  • Three slight lyrics on dreaming and constancy, then “The Sea Gulls,” much the larger thing: the 1848 cricket plague and the birds that ended it, told in shifting stanza shapes around the returning couplet “And though we killed a thousand score,” framed by unrhymed lines of Indian legend Poetry Magic — Harwood, Ruth [Contribution, p. 25]
  • Supremacy — Harwood, Ruth [Contribution, p. 26]
  • Allegro — Harwood, Ruth [Contribution, p. 14]
  • The Sea Gulls — Harwood, Ruth [Contribution, p. 212]
  • Haste, Gwendolen [also signed Gwendolin Haste; Gwendolyn Haste] Sequences of short poems about homestead women, each part a separate case of isolation set down in plain speech and left without comment. “Biography” plays the paragraphs of a county history against the killings its subject remembers. The sonnets, on drouth, hail and buried herders, are equally unsentimental The Stoic — Harwood, Ruth [Essay, p. 22]

  • Adagio — Heath, Monroe [Contribution, p. 34]
  • Heath, Winifred M. [also signed W. M. Heath; Winifred Heath] Five poems, and the first two are opposed: blank verse on a consoling inner voice, then a violent unrhymed harangue that refuses pretty verse and demands “a song of Hell.” The other three are what it refuses — mild rhyme on sisterly bushes and brother birds, on country weather carried into the city, on another woman’s lyrics born of loneliness The Voice — Heath, Monroe [Contribution, p. 24]

  • The Cabin — Hess, Maud Hogue [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Four short poems in ballad quatrains, colloquial and wry, each turning on a deflation: a walk not taken because the houses would gossip, a refusal to read poems about roses and the moon, and a night of menacing budding branches answered at dawn with “You’ll do nothing of the kind!” Postponement — Higgins, Annie [Contribution, p. 19]

  • All four build by accumulation: stanzas of armchair travel through Bagdad and Samarkand, a catalogue of the riches he cannot give, sixteen tetrameter couplets hung on “If you would know.” The exception is a strict sestina, correctly retrograded, spoken in a carnival barker’s slang, and it works Romance — Hilliard, John Northern [Contribution, p. 12-13]
  • Gifts — Hilliard, John Northern [Contribution, p. 3]
  • Sestina of the Spieler — Hilliard, John Northern [Contribution, p. 48]

  • Lady Wanderlust — Hodgson, Cecil E. C [Contribution, p. 137]
  • The Garden Pool — Hodgson, Cecil E. C [Contribution, p. 46]
  • Begins with four sonnets after Propertius, Latin incipits for titles, Cynthia scolded in modern slang. The later work is dramatic monologue in plain American speech, a drifter’s wife packing again, a mother identifying her drowned son, and one exercise in free-verse Gothic Quid Iuvat Ornato — Holbrook, Weare [Drama, p. 3]
  • Risus Eram Positis — Holbrook, Weare [Contribution, p. 13]

  • Three poems in four appearances: The Mountains was printed twice, in July-August 1923 and again in February 1924, lightly repunctuated. Free verse working a single extended figure hard, the range as an army with bayoneted crags and cloud-barrage, the grade as a stairway from Olympus The Stairway — Howes, Grace Clementine [Contribution, p. 21]
  • The Mountains — Howes, Grace Clementine [Contribution, p. 8]

  • To Llasta — Huffman, Adrian [Contribution, p. 165]
  • Six early poems, 1921 to 1924. Rhymed couplets and tetrameter run to landscape and solitude, but the manner is conversational and self-deflating: an evening on Tahoe breaks off at “I’ll land, and get my sweater on.” February is free-verse imagism seen from a train window On the Overland — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 12]
  • February — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 19]
  • Evening on Tahoe — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 17]
  • A Sad Little Lyric for Vacation — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 17]

  • Whence Cometh My Help — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 14]
  • Hutchins, M. Doris [also signed Doris Hutchins] Four short poems in tight rhyme, three of them elegies for a person or an hour, one a desert piece on the yucca whose flowers fall like “tired eyelids or cold lips.” The stanzas are regular and the endings are turned hard, sometimes into bathos The Yucca — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 31]
  • Your Room — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 18]
  • Finis — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 30]
  • To the Soul of a Dancer — Humphries, Rolfe [Contribution, p. 24]
  • A Marriage Ceremony — Hutchinson, Velma Byers [Contribution, p. 200]
  • Poplars — Hutchinson, Velma Byers [Contribution, p. 235]
  • Hyatt, Jack, Jr Free verse punctuated with ellipses, working by counterpoint: a blind beggar reads the passers-by he cannot see, a laundryman’s dream of returning home is cut across by quoted shop talk. Two very short pieces are flat aphorisms on churchgoing and on marriage. The sentiment is easy The Beggar — Hutchinson, Velma Byers [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Ching Loo Dreams — Hutchinson, Velma Byers [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Blindness — Hutchinson, Velma Byers [Contribution, p. 20]

  • In Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon — Leigh, A. B [Contribution, p. 78]
  • Leitch, Mary Sinton [also signed Mary Sintou Leitch] Twelve poems in a wide range of forms: free-verse meditations on woodland silence, an Italian sonnet, blank-verse narrative, a fireside dialogue between a childless woman and the child she refused, and a comic beach-comber ballad. Sterility and Virginia tidewater places recur Silence — Leigh, A. B [Contribution, p. 19]

  • Storm — Lemont, Jessie [Contribution, p. 70]
  • Seven short pieces, most of them a single simile under an abstract title (Purity, Gladness, Result), and slight. Loneliness is the exception, its crowd holding out naked hearts in “fat, sweaty hands.” The one metered poem, Desire, was printed twice, in February and June 1922 Purity — Lench, W. H [Contribution, p. 14]
  • Gladness — Lench, W. H [Contribution, p. 14]

  • Time — Lewis, Lilian [Contribution, p. 273]
  • Optimism — Lewis, Sylvia [Contribution, p. 283]
  • Range verse in long, internally rhymed lines, cowboy loneliness personified as a girl riding at his knee. “Mail Day” is the one that earns its keep: a bow-legged boy loping to town in June weather, then, in part two, the “dull-eyed girl with rough, red hands” waiting in the coulee The Girl of the Loneliness — Lincoln, Elliott C [Contribution, p. 8]
  • Mail Day — Lincoln, Elliott C [Contribution, p. 7]

  • Nasturtiums — Long, Vivian Aten [Contribution, p. 10]
  • Longley, Snow [also signed Snow Longly] A dramatic monologist. Her strongest work is blank verse spoken in character: a king’s favorite dying of the white lead she painted on, Beauty writing at the Beast’s table. “A Believer” runs the same method in rhymed swamp dialect. The two late sonnets are ordinary Protest—Mid-Atlantic — Long, Vivian Aten [Drama, p. 22]
  • April Illusions — Long, Vivian Aten [Contribution, p. 10]
  • The Dying Favorite Speaks — Long, Vivian Aten [Contribution, p. 8]

  • Four poems in long swinging lines with internal rhyme and refrain, one of them chained on hyphenated jingles like “whither-I-blow, thither-I-go.” Subjects: the gipsy trail, a woman remembered on the Bay of Naples, a changeling schoolgirl, and a couplet comedy weighing two girls met at tea Romany Road — Mackay, Mirza French [Contribution, p. 9]

  • The Summer Rain — Markham, Anna Catherine [Contribution, p. 260]
  • Six poems, fluently metrical and ornate in the late-Victorian way: sonnets on an Italian octave, tetrameter couplets, stanzas chiming on a short line, and a vocabulary of fanes, oblations and Camelot November Night is the one with a personality, ending with the speaker racing her broomstick back to Salem November Night — Markham, Lucia Clark [Contribution, p. 22]

  • Pigeons Flying — Markham, Lucia Clark [Contribution, p. 52]
  • Nine poems that name their plants exactly, bougainvillea, jacaranda, poinsettia, shooting-stars, and set Southern California against a remembered elsewhere. Tetrameter quatrains and heptameter triplets for the songs, blank verse for the descriptive set pieces on redwoods and canyon dusk. Crickets defends metre against “nondescript verse.” To The South—March Song — Marquis, Neeta [Contribution, p. 17-18]
  • The Alien — Marquis, Neeta [Contribution, p. 8]
  • On Christmas Eve — Marquis, Neeta [Contribution, p. 3]

  • Out of the West — Marquis, Neeta [Contribution, p. 262]
  • Crickets — Marquis, Neeta [Contribution, p. 259]
  • Four poems: two Petrarchan sonnets and two long-lined free-verse addresses to a departed woman, thick with trailing ellipses and ornament such as “amethystine vistas.” The Venetian one runs several pages on a remembered room. The better sonnet speaks in the voice of a redeemed prostitute, after Wassermann Perhaps — Marsh, Charles Howard [Contribution, p. 18]
  • To J — Marsh, Charles Howard [Contribution, p. 189]
  • A Venetian Night — Marsh, Charles Howard [Contribution, p. 64]
  • Of a Prostitute Redeemed — Marsh, Charles Howard [Contribution, p. 129]
  • All free verse, stepped and indented, unrhymed. Half the poems are Indian personations with hyphenated compound names, set out as titled songs for Soaring-Gull and Woman-of-the-Rifted-Rock; the rest are longer ecstatic pieces built on a repeated question, “What are they thinking, these three.” In the Moon-of-Red-Blooming-Lilies — Martin, Portia [Contribution, p. 13]
  • Aspens — Martin, Portia [Contribution, p. 13]
  • Love Wakens in the Heart of Soaring-Gull — Martin, Portia [Contribution, p. 10]

  • Presence — Mathis, Earl [Contribution, p. 74]
  • A Typewriter — Maxwell, George [Contribution, p. 11]
  • Misgiving — Maxwell, George [Contribution, p. 111]
  • Works two manners. Tetrameter quatrains on Southern California places, the Redondo wharf and a canyon trail, and strict Petrarchan sonnets on a Renaissance stonecutter and the four hours of the day; against these, long-lined free-verse catalogues of Los Angeles at night and of Javanese and jungle exotica Redondo Beach — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 21]
  • Saint Ann’s Wind — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 13]

  • The Procession of Four Kings — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 6]
  • A Dance by Ruth St. Denis — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 5]
  • McCarthy, John Russell [also signed John R McCarthy] Two manners: unrhymed declamation in a pulpit register on stars, evolution and a Lord God who speaks and is jeered at; and tight short-lined rhyme, as in the progress-chant “Spark Out of Heaven.” Best is “The New Clerk,” a hundred lines of rhymed couplets on a boy’s dreams closing down The Gift of Beauty — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 3]
  • Rue Anemone — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 24]
  • Priests — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 25]

  • At a Flower Stand — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 21]
  • The Ride — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 15]
  • McCormick, Virginia [also signed Virginia Taylor McCormick] Mostly short rhymed lyrics on named abstractions, sorrow, pain, doubt, magic, each closing on a turn; also a Petrarchan sonnet on an April garden and a Normandy genre picture in long lines. Two early free-verse pieces speak plainly in the first person, refusing the restful mountains for the sea Sorrow — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 13]
  • Poems — May, Beulah [Contribution, p. 13]

  • Molly By The Shore—Ballade of Mary Queen of Scots — McGaffey, Ernest [Contribution, p. 10-12]
  • Ballade of the Maya Maiden — McGaffey, Ernest [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Two free-verse pieces of remembrance broken by ellipses, a house she will not enter and an old man watching a fire; and two stanzaic poems that clip each quatrain’s fourth line to a beat or two, “Wind-blown.” Empty houses and what has gone out of them are her whole subject The Barrier — McGowen, Elizabeth K [Contribution, p. 10]
  • The Deserted House — McGowen, Elizabeth K [Contribution, p. 10]
  • Wood Fires — McGowen, Elizabeth K [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Storm — McGowen, Elizabeth K [Contribution, p. 8-9]
  • Five poems, none longer than eleven lines. Four are free verse of an imagist cast, a portrait in muted color, grass crushed in a sidewalk crack; the fifth is a rhymed epigram on a learned woman whose epitaph is ‘What was the use?’ The endings are dry and turned Mind — McKee, Ruth E [Contribution, p. 20]
  • A Study in Pastels — McKee, Ruth E [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Spring Sadness — McKee, Ruth E [Contribution, p. 29]

  • Impotence — Mead, Ruth Bernice [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Six poems, all from 1927 and all in loose blank verse of ten to twenty lines: a plowman, plow horses, a leaf-choked brook, each set against the scale of the stars. Exclamatory. To a Weaver of Words states his creed, poetry taken up with an axe One Moment Facing Stars — Melvin, Harold Wesley [Contribution, p. 151]
  • Plow Horses March into the Sunset — Melvin, Harold Wesley [Contribution, p. 196]
  • Bronze Brook — Melvin, Harold Wesley [Contribution, p. 196]

  • Infinity — Melvin, Harold Wesley [Contribution, p. 70]
  • How They Grew — Menefee, Kate Randle [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Mostly slight rhymed lyrics turning on one small reversal, a face at every window, the word left unsaid. The exception is “Cause and Effect,” a long monologue in irregular rhyme spoken by a lame, half-blind widow to a caller, whose chatter gives away more than she intends Impermanence — Meredith, Floyd [Contribution, p. 12]
  • Protest — Meredith, Floyd [Contribution, p. 25]
  • Stone Flowers — Meredith, Floyd [Contribution, p. 18]

  • Peace — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 111]
  • Miller, J. Corson [also signed J. Carson Miller] Seven poems, one of them signed J. Carson Miller. The manner is heavy traffic in hyphenated compounds, moon-trapped and song-stirred and blood-punctured, worked into sonnets and couplets. Subjects run from city street lights to a jackrabbit as ‘nature’s speed-machine’ and a couplet tribute to George Sterling Street Lights — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Sonnet — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 26]
  • On a Wild Jack-Rabbit — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 83]

  • The Singing Forest — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 276]
  • Wild Honey — Miles, Josephine [Contribution, p. 6]
  • Poems of thirty to fifty lines that state a conceit in the first line and work it through parallel stanzas: a house, a tune, a painting and a prayer all made of words; a catalogue of silences. One idyll breaks on the sight of “a child thinning beets.” A Pagan In Church — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 17]
  • Joy Walks in the Morning — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 8]
  • Words — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Prophecy — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 12]
  • I Bring You Silence, My Beloved — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 99]
  • Moods — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 216]
  • Miller, Norma [also signed Norma Miler] Restless in manner: a five-line simile of sea and nun, a chinoiserie of lacquered barges and jade drops, a thee-and-thou lyric in two seven-line stanzas, a long dimeter Nocturne. The late Sabbath drops the apparatus for plain refusal and is the better for it The Sea Is Like a Nun — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 8]
  • Street Lights — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 7]
  • June Midnight — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 6]
  • Spring Tarries Long — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 3]

  • Diana Knows — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 80]
  • Sabbath — Miller, Nellie Burget [Contribution, p. 224]
  • Long loping seven-stress lines and rhymed quatrains on dream-houses, unfollowed roads, and shells, “little deserted dwellings of the creatures of the sea.” The matter is wishing rather than seeing. Inland, which builds an ocean out of a grandfather’s few gruff words, is the exception House O’ Dreams — Mills, Ellen Morrill [Contribution, p. 13]
  • The Little Road — Mills, Ellen Morrill [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Spring, The Herald — Mills, Ellen Morrill [Contribution, p. 22]
  • Sea Shells — Mills, Ellen Morrill [Contribution, p. 18]
  • Inland — Mills, Ellen Morrill [Contribution, p. 21]
  • Flanders Field—Today — Miniter, Edith [Contribution, p. 19]
  • All four take their figures from myth: Arachne at the loom in two-stress lines, Galatea begging the goddess to turn her back to stone, Syrinx becoming reed. The two longer poems are speeches in rhymed tetrameter couplets, and the woman does the speaking Arachne — Mirick, Edith [Contribution, p. 5]
  • Flame — Mirick, Edith [Contribution, p. 72]
  • As Once to Pan — Mirick, Edith [Contribution, p. 99]
  • Caravans — Mirick, Edith [Contribution, p. 123]
  • A Tragedy — Mitchell, Elizabeth [Contribution, p. 12]
  • Gaydiang — Mitchell, Ruth Comfort [Contribution, p. 7-10]
  • Prints in groups rather than singly, fifteen short pieces, mostly short-lined rhymed quatrains plus a set of three-line epigrams The diction is bare; sand recurs, twice as a title. In The Train Whistle field hands hear the call and go back to work “strangers then behind a wall.” Five Poems — Mitvalsky, Frank [Contribution, p. 112]
  • Three Poems — Mitvalsky, Frank [Contribution, p. 144]
  • Two Poems — Mitvalsky, Frank [Contribution, p. 165]
  • Epigrams — Mitvalsky, Frank [Contribution, p. 240]

  • Introducing Irony — Moore, Dorothea [Contribution, p. 25]
  • Moreland, John Richard [also signed John R Moreland; J. R. Moreland] Four poems, each turning at the close to death: a Petrarchan sonnet whose sestet spoils its own April, a three-quatrain figure of life as a cage whose one door is death, and the elegy The Unreturning, which cuts each eight-line stanza short on a bare question Rich Man, Poor Man — Moore, Dorothea [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Sand Dunes — Moore, Dorothea [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Sea Sadness — Moore, Dorothea [Contribution, p. 17]

  • Lacquered Mandarin Moments — Morse, Vera Frances [Contribution, p. 28-29]
  • One Guest — Morton, David [Contribution, p. 7]
  • Mullins, Helene [also signed Helene Mullin] Four appearances, two of them the same free-verse “Prelude” reset with different lineation. The others are formal set-pieces in pentameter, an ode to Thalia in rhymed quatrains and a chant royal of five eleven-line stanzas and envoi, refrain and rhyme scheme correctly kept Prelude — Morton, David [Contribution, p. 7]
  • Prelude — Morton, David [Contribution, p. 19]
  • Old Attic — Morton, David [Contribution, p. 17]

  • Old Pain — O’Neil, Sheila [Contribution, p. 170]
  • The Clavilux — Ohe, Madge [Contribution, p. 159]
  • Olson, Ted [also signed Tod Olson] Chiefly sonnets, octave and sestet kept taut by enjambment, with short rhymed quatrains; the matter is fixed metaphysical disgust, loosed in the free-verse tirade “We Shall Go Laughing,” which arraigns an idiot demiurge for mating flame and slime. A sonnet portrait of a hated small-town old man is sharpest The Believer — Ohe, Madge [Contribution, p. 6]
  • Finale — Ohe, Madge [Contribution, p. 8]
  • Pursuit — Ohe, Madge [Contribution, p. 22]
  • Conservative — Ohe, Madge [Contribution, p. 5]

  • A Pagan’s Rosary — Orr, Mabel Guinan [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Predatory — Oswald, Gerald R [Contribution, p. 167]
  • P Packard, Doris [also signed Dorris Packard] Three of the four turn on one device, an hour of day personified with an agenda: dawn keeps a tryst, twilight turns thief, Sleep is a burglar “prying at the keyhole.” Alternating quatrains throughout, each poem clipping its last line short. The fourth is a sonnet to a dead mother Come Home a Little While — Oswald, Gerald R [Contribution, p. 7]
  • The Tryst — Oswald, Gerald R [Contribution, p. 18]
  • Thievery — Oswald, Gerald R [Contribution, p. 21]

  • Maid of Almesbury — Palmer, Bessie Pryor [Contribution, p. 227]
  • The Spanish Exile — Palmer, Floy Bernice [Contribution, p. 158]
  • Rhymed and conventional. The West is a long-lined hymn petitioning the Lord God of Hosts for Western courage, its refrain asking “the gift of seeing visions, and the gift of dreaming dreams”; the September sonnet takes Shawondasee and Mudway-aushka straight from Hiawatha. The manner throughout is borrowed The Voice of the Wilderness — Parmenter, Catherine [Contribution, p. 6]
  • The West — Parmenter, Catherine [Contribution, p. 13]
  • The First Crocus — Parmenter, Catherine [Contribution, p. 8]
  • September — Parmenter, Catherine [Contribution, p. 286]

  • Le Jongleur — Parsons, Mable Holmes [Contribution, p. 161]
  • Woven in Lavender — Patching, Peggy [Contribution, p. 147]
  • Patterson, Antoinette DeCoursey [also signed Antoinette De Coursey Patterson] Narrative and anecdotal rather than lyric. Epigrammatic quatrains on the moon and on history’s tolerance of Lucrezia and Cleopatra sit beside long story-poems in alternating rhyme, one an Indian legend footnoted to its source, another on Siena’s keys given to the Madonna. A Venetian scene carries prose stage directions The Magician — Patching, Peggy [Fiction, p. 22]
  • Challenged — Patching, Peggy [Contribution, p. 22]
  • Judgments of History — Patching, Peggy [Fiction, p. 22]

  • In Old Siena — Patching, Peggy [Contribution, p. 14-15]
  • Telegraph Hill — Patterson, Dorothy [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Pease, Josephine van Dolzen [also signed Josephine Van Dolzen Pease] Devotional throughout and liturgical in shape: carols built on a returning refrain, Christmas measured against Easter, a night “made of white Hosts.” The unrhymed pieces run to five or six lines. Nothing exceeds a page, and the note is settled faith rather than struggle Sunsets — Patterson, Dorothy [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Any Time, O Lord — Patterson, Dorothy [Contribution, p. 14]
  • A Carol of the Way — Patterson, Dorothy [Contribution, p. 4]
  • White Birches — Patterson, Dorothy [Contribution, p. 4]

  • The Night Wind — Perry, I. D [Contribution, p. 201]
  • Aphrodite — Persov, Anne [Contribution, p. 99]
  • Three rhymed quatrain lyrics of remembered love with folk-ballad furniture, ghosts, old gardens, a grey witch at her spring “Vancouver Barracks” breaks the pattern: unrhymed, flat, recalling guardhouse jokes and the vows soldiers swore about what they would do once free Old Gardens — Peterson, Ames [Contribution, p. 23]
  • The Last Song — Peterson, Ames [Contribution, p. 24]
  • Autumn — Peterson, Ames [Contribution, p. 15]
  • Vancouver Barracks — Peterson, Ames [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Six poems, all rhymed and most of them arguments rather than descriptions: the age as a dancer who strips and reels ‘to the muffled drums of doom,’ a hanged man’s mother blaming the machines that made him, Great Salt Lake as a shrunken and unsceptered king A Bookworm Speaks — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 79]
  • Mater Dolorosa — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 231]
  • Blue — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 146]
  • Sheep — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 155]
  • Great Salt Lake — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 215]
  • Jazz Age — Petri, Lori [Contribution, p. 40]
  • Long rhymed lines, close to fourteeners, built on repeated openings and refrain. Two of the five hand the refrain to other voices, children chanting over a leaf fire and the Broadway crowd “shifting and drifting along the street.” Diction elevated and exclamatory throughout July — Pfeiffer, Edward H [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Caliban Aspiring — Pfeiffer, Edward H [Contribution, p. 10]
  • She Dreams of Autumn — Pfeiffer, Edward H [Contribution, p. 1]
  • In A Wood — Pfeiffer, Edward H [Contribution, p. 23]

  • (from the Chinese) — Po, Arthur E. Christy and Lee Cheuk [Contribution, p. 47]
  • Post Office Sketches — Poland, Joseph Franklin [Contribution, p. 14-15]
  • Wild Lilacs in California — Pope, Katherine [Contribution, p. 4]
  • Five short pieces, mostly unrhymed and image-led. The Septains are three seven-line poems that widen to a long fifth line and taper, the last turning from Italian scenery to the grievance of “the drugged folk.” Elsewhere caged lions look past the bars and a moon misses its own reflection Septains — Porter, Anna [Contribution, p. 25]
  • At the Zoo — Porter, Anna [Contribution, p. 18]
  • A Sierra Juniper — Porter, Anna [Contribution, p. 18]
  • On the Dunes — Porter, Anna [Contribution, p. 19]

  • High Treason — Prager, Mollie [Contribution, p. 144]
  • Impotency — Prager, Mollie [Contribution, p. 68]
  • Ballad quatrains and four-beat couplets on set subjects: a desert trail ridden by ghost horsemen, ships nosing the Embarcadero, a helmsman in a gale, an Irish fairy forge with “the Wood of Tara” for refrain.

  • A collector of small set forms: a Crapsey cinquain scored in musical terms, an echo poem rhyming every line to a one-word tag (“Driftwood”), anaphoric tercets, and in Dancing Girl of Utica alternating indented couplets that play address to the mummy against flat third-person report Interludes — Price, Ruth Clay [Drama, p. 6]

  • Prosper, Joan Dareth [also signed Joan D. Prosper] Rhymed stanzas of five and four lines, mostly love and parting spoken to someone going away, with a recurring Renaissance company: Da Vinci, Giotto, Botticelli treated as personal acquaintances.

  • Nine poems. Several are love poems under scriptural epigraphs, titled for hours of the day and set as a sonnet or in pentameter couplets.

  • The Lifted Cup — Rittenhouse, Jessie [Contribution, p. 6]
  • Ritter, Margaret Tod [also signed Margaret Todd Ritter] Sonnets built on a sustained conceit, a galleon-sun or a smoldering volcano; a She/He dialogue in triple-rhyming quatrains; December personified with a tolling refrain.

  • Four imagist pieces, none above nine lines, three of them printed together on a page.

  • Two Paths — Russ, Penelope [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Russell, Sydney King [also signed Sidney King Russell] Seventeen poems in a practiced range: Petrarchan sonnets, a blank-verse meditation, biblical narrative, and long ballad-quatrain tales of temptation and death.

  • She Wants Such Simple Gifts — Ruthrauff, Henry Fitzgerald [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Four short poems built on repetition: unrhymed stanzas each closing ‘For April,’ a mother remembered in eight lines of nothing but similes, and an incantation to water that repeats its address and hints at a drowning.

  • The Children and Thomas — Sanborn, Robert Alden [Contribution, p. 14]
  • North-woods and Chippewa material handled several ways: a war dance set as a chant for named tribal speakers in rhymed dimeter, an elegy for a tree-buried warrior with an ethnographic headnote, and a blank-verse narrative sustaining one figure, a woman as ripening wild plum, at length Thunderdrums — Sarett, Lew [Contribution, p. 3]

  • Birthdays — Satterlee, Anna E [Contribution, p. 28]
  • Saul, George Brandon [also signed Geo. Brandon Saul] Rhymed quatrains and one long unstopped ode, all in a high literary register — mildew, casements, futility, “the iron pulse of time.” The subject is always the same figure worn down by duration; the ballad quatrains of “Shadow” handle it better than the ode does Paean — Satterlee, Anna E [Contribution, p. 3]
  • A Woman Watches the Sea — Satterlee, Anna E [Contribution, p. 4]
  • Three Poems — Satterlee, Anna E [Contribution, p. 12]

  • April Dawn — Searcy, Helene [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Free verse in short strokes, imagist in method: garden sequences of six or eight lines, and one metaphor carried the length of a poem, dawn as a lean grey wolf, a train as “a querulous old red cow.” Also chinoiserie, and a moonlit dialogue with stage directions Scarlet Heart — Seelemire, Geraldine [Contribution, p. 177]

  • Two manners. Short hard-edged imagist pieces of five or six lines, “Copper oak leaves / On iron trees.” And six Italian-octave sonnets on a love not returned, unusually plain about self-abasement and closing in renunciation; a companion poem gives a widow her freedom and no use left for it Autumn — Sittig, Sigrid [Contribution, p. 10]

  • Skinner, Constance Lindsay [also signed Constance Skinner] Eight poems, nearly all incantatory free verse: song-cycles put in the mouths of Northwest Indian speakers, with glossed tribal names, and a chant for David before Saul.

  • Five poems, all short-lined free verse without rhyme.

  • The Progress of Youth — Spero, Anna Kalfus [Contribution, p. 25]
  • Five poems of confinement and denial, regular in rhyme and stanza but knotted in syntax, with a vocabulary of gyves, hasps and bolts.

  • Tethered — Stait, Virginia [Contribution, p. 7]
  • Condemned — Stait, Virginia [Contribution, p. 88]

  • Ranges from eight-line quatrain epigrams to long free-verse catalogues, with weather personified as women and a fondness for diminutive jingling, “skirly, whirly, roguish winds.” Best when he undercuts himself: in To Hymen a castle, a mission and a desert are each deflated by an inhabitant’s flat complaint Purple Mists — Stearn, Noel [Contribution, p. 156]

He can hold a sentence across an octave without strain Problem — Stephen, A. M [Contribution, p. 16]
  • The Fog-Sea — Stephen, A. M [Contribution, p. 5]

  • Offering — Stevens, Eleanor Mathews [Contribution, p. 18]
  • Five poems in jeweled diction, moonstone and nacre and jade, that turn dry at the close: a Lorelei promising to drown her admirer, a tour of frozen stars, and a quatrain dismissal ending “Angry? Ah, good-bye, and don’t forget to write.” My Soul — Stewart, Irene [Contribution, p. 174]
  • Lorelei Thoughts — Stewart, Irene [Contribution, p. 282]
  • Incompatible — Stewart, Irene [Contribution, p. 283]
  • Mallards — Stewart, Irene [Contribution, p. 7]
  • Afterward — Stewart, Irene [Contribution, p. 97]
  • Divided between jaunty rhymed lyrics of hill-climbing and contentment and free verse of more interest: a frank serenade to a woman’s body, crickets dancing in “black lacquered shoes,” and a three-part sequence set at the silk counter, the millinery mirror and the handkerchief table Summer Rapture — Stewart, Winifred Gray [Contribution, p. 24]
  • Sky Wind — Stewart, Winifred Gray [Contribution, p. 17]
  • Serenade — Stewart, Winifred Gray [Contribution, p. 275]

  • Ten O’Clock — Stewart, Winifred Gray [Contribution, p. 277]
  • Shopping Tour — Stewart, Winifred Gray [Contribution, p. 218]
  • Five poems, and unusually for the magazine mostly narrative: a long-lined ballad of a Mexican girl on Echo Mountain revisited long after, an Italian sonnet on a blind child, and The Price, a blank-verse fiord tragedy that repeats its epithets for Dagmar like a saga Wanderer—A Morning Walk — Stillwell, Ethel Brooks [Contribution, p. 8-9]
  • The Call — Stillwell, Ethel Brooks [Contribution, p. 8]
  • The Return — Stillwell, Ethel Brooks [Contribution, p. 20]
  • To a Blind Baby — Stillwell, Ethel Brooks [Contribution, p. 7]
  • The Price — Stillwell, Ethel Brooks [Contribution, p. 242]
  • Four poems, no two alike, each reaching for an odd word or a learned one: the Point Loma breezes personified, the north wind “frampold” and jazzing; a sunset in terza rima that the poet footnotes with the Eleusinian calendar; two rhymed lyrics of a lavish lover and a waiting woman Point Loma Breezes — Stoddard, Yetta Kay [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Rich — Stoddard, Yetta Kay [Contribution, p. 16]
  • The Big Show — Stoddard, Yetta Kay [Contribution, p. 16]
  • You Shall Sail — Stoddard, Yetta Kay [Contribution, p. 13]
  • Six poems in several manners: songlike quatrains, a comic narrative ballad in sixains that talks Naughty Nell past St. Peter, a blank-verse vision of escape from Space and Time, and a Shakespearean sonnet on a lover who saw only her own face in the pool. Practiced, finished, impersonal Truancy — Stork, Charles Wharton [Contribution, p. 21]
  • Half-Light Happiness — Stork, Charles Wharton [Contribution, p. 22]
  • To Heifetz — Stork, Charles Wharton [Contribution, p. 23]

  • Gardens — Stryker, Carrie Woodward [Contribution, p. 31]
  • Sturges, Lucy Hale [also signed Lucy H. Sturges] Eight poems of furnished settings: Alexandria, a Japanese triptych of torii and maple leaves, a desert of seven palms, a tea table of ‘old mahogany and Russian brass.’ Free verse and light rhymed quatrains alike; the strength is exact naming of materials rather than anything said Temporal — Stryker, Carrie Woodward [Contribution, p. 6]

  • The New Frontiers — Swett, Margery [Contribution, p. 3]
  • In a Doorway — Swett, Margery [Contribution, p. 9]
  • Four poems, harder-worked than the magazine’s norm. Two run long: a tropical childhood set against New England’s “grave monotone,” and Outer Circle, which makes each waking hour an island ringed first by sleep and then by death. Her rhyme is irregular and her syntax runs across the line Moods of Women — Taggard, Genevieve [Contribution, p. 23]
  • She Comes After Years to the Ocean — Taggard, Genevieve [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Child Tropics Remembered in New England — Taggard, Genevieve [Contribution, p. 13]
  • The Outer Circle — Taggard, Genevieve [Contribution, p. 6]
  • Watchman and Star — Taggart, E. Vashti [Contribution, p. 16]
  • A sonneteer with a taste for the sour clinch. Sea-Captain spends twelve lines on wrecks off Algiers and the Scillys so its man can drown in a foot of harbour water; Paulo Majora Canamus catalogues lynching and jail, then turns to praise God’s infinite mercies The Return of the Prodigal — Tanaquil, Paul [Contribution, p. 26]
  • Two Men — Tanaquil, Paul [Contribution, p. 21]

  • Three of the four appeared together in one number: short rhymed pieces on thistledown, butterflies and cobwebs, worked entirely in simile, galleons and fairy looms and “frosted quilts for fairies’ beds.” The fourth substitutes two unrhymed sketches of hills and pines. Fanciful and slight Thistledown — Thurston, Helen [Contribution, p. 19]

  • Storm — Tobias, Ruby Weyburn [Contribution, p. 139]
  • As It Ever Shall Be — Tobias, Ruby Weyburn [Contribution, p. 67]
  • Tonio Signs with one name. Four poems of long ragged lines, irregularly rhymed, all retrospective and addressed to a you, set among sage and cactus on “the broken mother hills.” The New Woman’s Last Note keeps repeating its question, why were you sad. The syntax strains and sometimes gives way The Secret Knowledge — Tobias, Ruby Weyburn [Contribution, p. 168]
  • This Poet’s Dream — Tobias, Ruby Weyburn [Contribution, p. 281]
  • The New Woman’s Last Note — Tobias, Ruby Weyburn [Contribution, p. 305]

  • Translations of Original Japanese Tanka — Tsurumi, Yorozu [Contribution, p. 263]
  • Persona lyrics in plain ballad quatrains, spoken by women in vernacular: a three-part spinster sequence with the rain asking “Where is your lover?”, a charwoman remembering daffodils as she pushes her pail, a girl whose soldier lies under chicory in France Spinster Songs — Tunstall, Virginia Lyne [Contribution, p. 10]
  • The Char-Woman — Tunstall, Virginia Lyne [Contribution, p. 8]

  • The Orient Visits New York — Underwood, Chi-Twang Chu and Ethel Worthley [Contribution, p. 104]
  • Four appearances, every one a numbered sequence announced as such: A Little Sequence, improvisations on dated Chinese fan paintings in blank verse, a sequence written in Cartagena, and Andean travel pieces with a footnote glossing puna Cosmopolitan, ornamental, never a single short lyric Dances of the Flame — Underwood, Edna Worthley [Contribution, p. 11]
  • Fans—Improvisations from Old Chinese Paintings — Underwood, Edna Worthley [Contribution, p. 8]
  • By the Carib Sea — Underwood, Edna Worthley [Contribution, p. 166]
  • Songs From the Andes — Underwood, Edna Worthley [Contribution, p. 126]
  • Alternates long Whitmanic lines that run toward prose with tightly rhymed quatrains, both heavily alliterated. The matter is Southwestern: arroyos, pinyon, the Santa Fe plaza. Burros is the best of them, tracing the cross on the animal’s back through Spain to Egypt and setting it against motor cars Waiting—Mist — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 3]
  • Aria — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 4]
  • The Last Divide — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 6]
  • The Critic — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 7]

  • Carmen de Ciudad — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 22]
  • Burros — Underwood, John Curtis [Contribution, p. 27]
  • Five of seven are sonnets, Italian in the octave and argumentative in method: whether love dies when reason kills it, what it is to eat a cold beloved’s crumbs, why God wears the moon as a mask. The other two are a free-verse night piece and a quatrain Eden Nude Sleeper — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 22]
  • Resurrection — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Inhibition — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 81]
  • “Not Wisely, But Too Well” — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 279]

  • Moon Memory — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 42]
  • Uschold, Maud Elfrid [also signed Maud E. Uschold] Printed mostly in groups of two and three, half rhymed quatrains and half short free verse. The mark is hard compound diction, “wind-rowelled water,” indigo ingots, an egg-eyed hare, and a habit of deflation: the beasts guarding a man’s soul turn out to be mice Two Poems — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 103]
  • Three Poems — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 267]
  • Assignation — Upper, Joseph [Contribution, p. 197]

  • Magdalene — Vail, Harold [Contribution, p. 194]
  • Zola — Vail, Harold [Contribution, p. 11]
  • Sonnets and rhymed quatrains, fluent and heavily cadenced, often built of stacked similes. The recurring subject is beauty as an injury, “I have been hurt too much by lovely things,” and a parting. Two late pieces turn outward, to a wharf at night and a woman seen as a ghost A Song for April — Vinal, Harold [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Dryad — Vinal, Harold [Contribution, p. 17]

  • Wade, Robert E., Jr Montana Lake — Wade, Otis [Contribution, p. 132]
  • Velvet — Wall, Katherine [Contribution, p. 201]
  • Unusual here for writing comedy. Bourrico is a long fable in heroic couplets: a laden donkey argues philosophy with a well-fed one, swaps places, and prospers. Also a blank-verse dream vision, a whimsy on the preferred build of angels, and an epigram reckoning hate as debt The Account—Visitors — Wallace, Grace [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Dream-Tracks — Wallace, Grace [Contribution, p. 19]
  • A Preference in Angels — Wallace, Grace [Contribution, p. 25]

  • The Buddhist’s Bell — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 54]
  • Walton, Eda Lou [also signed Eda Lu Walton] Two poems spoken in a Navajo voice, one a prayer against witchcraft that names Slayer of Alien Gods and turns on nail-parings and fallen hair. Elsewhere, free-verse confession from a virgin who has borne a dream-child, and an extended musical conceit worked over fuchsias Truth Absolute — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 18]
  • In Silence — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 18]
  • Moon Child — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 9]

  • Fuchsias — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 23]
  • Upon Reading the Browning Letters — Walther, Alice McCray [Contribution, p. 13]
  • Alternates hymn-quatrains on wheat and plains with declared modern experiment: a Sandburg imitation whose three passengers each hide a violent errand behind “Omaha,” winds sketched as roué, busybody and psycho-analyst, and a five-line rhyme on zinnias out-praying the preacher Song of the Plains — Ward, May Williams [Contribution, p. 5]
  • Upon Reading Sandburg’s “Limited” — Ward, May Williams [Contribution, p. 6]
  • The Restless Tamed — Ward, May Williams [Contribution, p. 20]

  • Desert Thirst — White, Samuel Alexander [Contribution, p. 140]
  • Quest — Whitehead, Douglass [Contribution, p. 95]
  • Seventeen poems, elegiac and long-breathed: rhymed pentameter couplets and quatrains, Petrarchan sonnets, and sequences on Nazareth, on Poe, on St. Francis. Beauty does much of the work as an abstraction, though the catalogue poems on houses and old latticed windows keep to observed detail Leaves — Whiteside, Mary Brent [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Consolation — Whiteside, Mary Brent [Contribution, p. 20]

  • The Troubadour of God — Whiteside, Mary Brent [Contribution, p. 1]
  • The Bulbul and the Child — Whiteside, Mary Brent [Contribution, p. 63]
  • Five lyrics, three in ballad quatrains and two in loose rhymed free verse, on grief and reassurance: the dead met again in dream, beauty offered as reason to bear the world. “Glamour” is the exception, an allegory of a ruined house where she had expected shelter Hill Sunset — Widdemer, Margaret [Contribution, p. 3]
  • Glamour — Widdemer, Margaret [Contribution, p. 16]
  • Vision — Widdemer, Margaret [Contribution, p. 65]
  • Message — Widdemer, Margaret [Contribution, p. 245]
  • Distance — Widdemer, Margaret [Contribution, p. 42]
  • Mostly unrhymed long-line free verse, given to catalogue and to speakers who are not herself: a beached sailor guarding a movie lot, Lady Godiva’s husband, a chorus of machines threatening their makers. The diction is deliberately rough. Two late nature pieces in rhyme are ordinary beside them Bill Harper — Wierman, Frances [Contribution, p. 146]
  • The Husband of Lady Godiva — Wierman, Frances [Contribution, p. 205]
  • City Rivers — Wierman, Frances [Contribution, p. 79]

  • Flowers of Portugal — Wilkinson, Florence [Contribution, p. 222]
  • The Missive — Willard, Edna Constance [Contribution, p. 46]
  • Williams, B. Y. [also signed B. Y: Williams] Two poems speak from odd vantages, a second wife in her grave still jealous of the first, and Cleopatra’s soul lodged in an unlovely body. The other two report China in fourteener couplets and rhymed octaves, six bandits beheaded at Tsinan, a sing-song girl drawn in the period’s stock exotics Forgotten — Willard, Edna Constance [Contribution, p. 38]
  • In the Province of Shantung — Willard, Edna Constance [Contribution, p. 17]

  • The Windmill — Wilson, Claire [Contribution, p. 108]
  • Impressions — Wilson, Doris G [Contribution, p. 26]
  • Unrhymed free verse, short lines, exclamatory, on dawn over mountains, stars, pines and birds. Repetition is her only real device, and in “Bees in the Honeysuckle” it runs to fifty lines of gold, gold-dust and drone, incantation rather than description Criss-cross Pattern — Wilson, Ethel Brodt [Contribution, p. 20]
  • Dreams of Morning — Wilson, Ethel Brodt [Contribution, p. 199]
  • Silences — Wilson, Ethel Brodt [Contribution, p. 264]

  • Color — Yarnell, Esther [Contribution, p. 3]
  • “I Have Climbed the Dark Hills” — Yarnell, Esther [Contribution, p. 10]
  • Four poems. Two are elegies for a dead boy in plain unrhymed lines, and they carry her: heaven is faulted because “there are no scraps of paper” there, the child having wanted nothing else. A sonnet and a candle-lighting song are conventional The Lotus Pool — Zuker, Anne [Contribution, p. 139]
  • His Lordship in Heaven — Zuker, Anne [Contribution, p. 232]
  • The Sensitive — Zuker, Anne [Contribution, p. 105]
  • Tapers of the Heart — Zuker, Anne [Contribution, p. 66]
  • PROSE The departments, articles, reviews and notices, filed under the hand the contents page names. Initials are the magazine’s own: A G. is Allison Gaw, who wrote the serial essay on the stanza; L. B M. is Lois Burton Moon; R. T. T. is Roy Towner Thompson. They are left as he set them A.

  • ENTRIES THE CONTENTS LEAVES UNSIGNED The contents page gives these no name. Some are poems: a translation, a group listed once under the name of the group, a poem the printer set without a signature, and the leaf itself often names the poet where the contents does not. Others are the magazine’s own matter — Between Editor and Reader, the award of a prize, a notice, an erratum — which is unsigned because it is the magazine speaking. They are left together here rather than sorted on a guess Chicago — Williams, Dudley [Contribution, p. 26]
