...poems in this issue as examples. Lawrence Olson's "Poem" is technically excellent but completely dependent on T. S. Eliot, even to phrasing and imagery. "The Zoo" by Howard Moss is another example: there are echoes of Dylan Thomas and Auden throughout it. These are both fine journeyman achievements; not as much can be said for John Crockett's "Elegy," deeply ingrained in the over-plushed tradition of last year's Advocate poets. Next to Crockett's poem, "Dance" by Paul Schneider is most poetically unpoetical...

Fletcher Martin was born in Colorado, son of an ambulant small-town newspaper man who made him a journeyman printer at 12. At 15, Fletcher Martin ran away, has been on the loose ever since.

From Rome this sentimental journeyman reported: "Government officials are favorably inclined." Elsewhere, he intimated, nations had received him most cordially. But so far he had no signatures on his pocketful of dotted lines. That was serious. For if a majority of this year's 58 foreign exhibitors fail to renew their leases, the 1940 Fair will have to cope with a lot of blank spots where the handsome foreign...
Sweden's greatest song writer was Carl Michael Bellman (1740-95). To Swedes Bellman's ballads are as familiar as Stephen Foster's are in the U. S. Year ago Hendrik Willem van Loon, literary journeyman, heard some, resolved to investigate the "Anacreon of the North," the "Last of the Troubadours." Last year van Loon and Grace Castagnetta, U. S. pianist spent five months in Sweden, acquainting themselves with Bellman's background and with the Swedish language which, in his songs, is almost untranslatably idiomatic. This week they published the result: 20 songs, with piano accompaniment...
