Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Afterglow
A few of the poems here collected were con tributed to the Yale Literary Magazine and other college and school periodicals; but for the most part, they are now printed for the first time. This is of the nature of a memorial volume, whose contents derive a pathos from its author's early and heroic death. But no indulgence is asked on that account. Without wishing to com pare these verses with the work of such 'inheri tors of unfulfilled renown as Rupert Brooke and Alan Seeger, one finds in them a refinement of feeling, a sense of rhythm and poetic form, which give promise of future achievement. They are mainly subjective and introspective, the ex pression of moods: moods of high though vague aspiration, of self-searchings and unsettled aims.
