Poems of Life and Death The way of the American poets of this era of growing poetic appreciation is (ertainly easier to a publisher and a public than for, lo! these many years. Nor are they "one-volumc,' poets, either. Difficult as it was for a poet to attain publication in an initial volume only a short time ago, it was thrice an hard, and, indeed, almost unheard of, for the itvcrago minor poet to succeed one book with another. Irene Iluther ford McLco has reached her third vol ume, of collected poems in "Before Dawn." Headers who appreciated the poetic substance and spirit of "Songs to Savo a Soul" nnd "Swords for lilfo" will find new nnd similarly lyric treasures iu "Before Dawn." Miss Mc Leod ia a musical poet, and iu that cat egory not merely a melodist, but un ndept nt deep harmonica and nt couu terpolnt of sound and sense.
