Description: Hard to find December 1939 issue of Chicago's monthly Poetry is in very good condition. Just a tiny paper chip to the base of the spine. Nice and clean text. Edited at this date by George Dillon. See photo #3 for complete contents. 55 pages. Some highlights I find include: The 31 year old Iowa poet, editor, teacher and critic Paul Engle opens this issue with seven pages of poems headed Our Human Strength. Scots poet Hugh MacDiarmid makes his first contribution to the monthly: Of Life and Death. Chicago's own (from age 3) novelist and literary man about town, soon enough to be grabbed-up (1943) by the U.S. Army, Nelson Algren reviews the first American edition (Random House) of British poet Robert Graves' Collected Poems. Delmore Schwartz pens a new essay, "Rimbaud in Our Time." Six pages. New verse by Robert Friend, T.C. Wilson, Virginia Moore, Ralph Gustafson, Winfield Townley Scott and others. Italian writer G.A. Borgese makes his first Poetry appearance, an eight page article headed "Outline of a Poetics, Part I." Inez Cunningham Stark on new verse by Irish writer and poet James Stephens: Kings and the Moon. Morgan Glum on Joseph Auslander's Riders at the Gate. The able William Empson (age 33) on Cleanth Brooks' now classic Modern Poetry and the Tradition.
