Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Land Where We Were Dreaming, and Other Poems of Daniel Bedinger Lucas
Calm criticism has discriminated unfiinchingly between the good and bad in these poets, for there is no fixed standard of accomplishment reached by all of them at all times. Later editors have been disposed to reject totally the unworthy portions that the better parts may receive their proper emphasis. Sometimes loyalty to hallowed memories has demanded that the editions be com plete even where inequalities have been clearly detected. Judgments about poetry are so variable that frequently it seems best to leave to the reader the exercise of his own discrimina tion.
