...striking ballade; Mr. Hagedorn a fine monologue of New York street life; Mr. Seeger two sonnets on Don Juan which echo the music of an earlier time; Mr. Miller a moving threnody; Mr. Reed a poem not quite big enough for its language, but showing promise and some metrical skill. Here also is Mr. Pulsifer's Garrison Prize Poem, The Conquest of the Air, which would arrest the attention of any reader by the size of its conception and the telling choice of its words.

Next most notable are the two contributions of Mr. C. P. Aiken. Both the poem and the prose tale show considerable originality in conception and skill in the minor points of technique; neither quite carries conviction. The story leaves one a little in doubt as to whether it is an allegory or a hold-up; and the theme of the poem is such that at best it could give opportunity for little more than ingenious fancy. Here, as in much of his writing, Mr. Aiken suffers from a tendency to get too remote from actuality...
