Collection of 33 poems republished from newspapers such as The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Evening Post, Voices, and The Grinnell Review. This is one of close to 10 volumes of contemporary verse published by Ransom after he restarted his private press in 1921. Unfortunately, he could not continue printing much longer after 1923 due to insufficient interest, but his reference works are still considered the standard in the field (Cave 130). Signed and dated by the author. Chicago College Club bookplate and stamp on front paste-down endpaper along with name of former owner in pencil.
