"Poetry and Drama" Redivivus

It is a pleasure to welcome The Monthly Chapbook, a

new series of Poetry and Drama, the English quarterly,

which was obliged to suspend publication at the beginning

of the war. The new magazine, like the old, is edited by

Harold Monro and published by the Poetry Bookshop. The

first number, July, which reached us at the end of August,

is entitled Twenty-three New Poems by Contemporary

Poets (evidently. the "twenty-three" carries no perverse

magic in England!).

The first issue has a distinctly Georgian flavor, although

two or three of the twenty-three poets have been more con-

spicuous hitherto on the Blackwell lists than those of the

Poetry Bookshop. Among the better known names are

H. D., Messrs. Lawrence, de la Mare, Sturge Moore, Sas-

soon, Nichols, Monro, Davies, Manning, Flint and Alding-

ton.

NOTES

Mr. Wallace Stevens, who is a lawyer residing in Hartford,

Conn., has contributed to certain of the special magazines during

the last five years, but has not yet published a volume. 'Three

years ago the staff of Poetry awarded the prize in its play contest

to his one-act play, Three Travellers Watch a Sunrise, printed in

Poetry for July, 1916.

Mr. Maurice Brown, who is now living in Seattle, has published

one or two books of verse through the Samurai Press.

Marjorie Allen Seiffert (Mrs. Otto S.), of Moline, Ill., will soon

publish, through Alfred A. Knopf, her first book of verse.

Mr. John Rodker, of London, who is the present foreign editor

of The Little Review, will soon issue, through his Ovid Press, a

new book of poems.

Mr. Mark Turbyfill, of Chicago, and Mr. Baker Brownell, of

St. Charles, Ill., both recently demobilized from the army, have

appeared in PoETRY and one or two other magazines, but not yet

in volumes.

Mr. Floyd Dell, of New York, is well known as one of the

editors of The Liberator, and Mr. John Towner Frederick as the

editor of Midland, published at Moorhead, Minn.
