POETRY: Volume 72, Number 1

  • Chicago , April 1948
By Berryman, John; Malcolm Cowley, et al.
Chicago, April 1948. An interesting issue. Five poems from Berryman, his first appearance in this magazine, including the title poem of "The Dispossessed". Poems by Eberhart and Cowley, and a review of a prose translation of "The Odyssey" by Fitzgerald, with his own verse (well prior to his landmark translation); a long review of Frost's "A Masque of Mercy" by W C Williams, and of Duncan's first book by Rukeyser. There is a single page of author photos. Bottom corner creased, the Eberhart photo with loss of paper transfered to opposite page , otherwise very good in printed wrappers.
