RHYMES BY JOHN COWPER POWYS
_8vo, 120 pages, $1.25 net_
In these remarkable poems Mr. Powys strikes a new and startlingly
unfamiliar note; their interest lies in the fact that they are the
unaffected outcries and protests of a soul in exile, and their
originality is to be found in that they sweep aside all facile and
commonplace consolations and give expression to the natural and
incurable sadness of the heart of man.
NEW YORK EVENING POST says: "As regards what Mr. Powys modestly
calls his 'rhymes,' we hesitate to say how many years it is necessary
to go back in order to find their equals in sheer poetic originality."
BOOK NEWS MONTHLY says: "Such poems as those are worthy of a
permanent existence in literature."
KANSAS CITY STAR says: "It is unmistakably verse of lasting
quality."
THE WAR AND CULTURE
An Answer to Professor Musterberg
By JOHN COWPER POWYS
_12mo, 113 pages, 60 cents_
Mr. Powys says of this book that he has sought to correct that
plausible and superficial view of the Russian people as "the
half-civilised legions to whom we have taught killing by machinery"--a
view to which even so independent a thinker as George Bernard Shaw
appears to have fallen a victim.
