...chanted, hopes that none of them will be set to music. In his recent sojourn in Spokane Poet Lindsay evolved what he calls Poem Games, in which children dance and act out poems simultaneously chanted by a reciter. "I recommend it," says Poet Lindsay, "to parents tired of psycho-analysis." Poet Nicholas Vachel Lindsay is now a shout (he has whispered lovely lyrics in his time). Sometimes he is inspiring, sometimes startlingly forceful, and some-times just a big noise. Born 50 years ago in Springfield, III, he still lives there. His middle name rhymes with Rachel. Besides his verse...
...Weston is a member of the psycho-analytical school of writers, a charter member we should say. His technique springs full-armed from the fulminations of Freud. It is a sort of detective mechanism for discovering the well-springs of character. It is deft in the same way that the technique of Conan Doyle is deft.

Educated at the Teachers College and Psycho-Neurological Institute in St. Peters burg, and also at the University of St. Petersburg, he received the degrees of Doctor of Sociology and Master of Criminal...
...source material. Author Hackett used these and many another book and record. He worked on his biography over a period of six years. It has the best of material (perhaps too much), a brilliant style (now and then a polish with obvious labor in it). He demonstrates that the "psycho-historian" should be "then-minded." In addition to Henry and his immediate group, he gives an enlightening picture of contemporary Europe...
