SELECTED POEMS Forthcoming!!!

Elizabeth Colwell, seems to be primarily a visual artist

Margaretta Schuyler, obviously not the Margaretta Schuyler from the 1600's, although seems to be related to this founding family of New York (why else name a Schuyler "Margaretta"?)

Second Growth

Esther A. Whitmarsh

Gwendolen Haste, another book from the Ahsahta!!! (when I came to Genevieve Taggard, I found that Taggard's selected (chapbook-length, alas) was published by Ahsahta Press -- blogger extra-ordinary, Janet Holmes, is now Director of that press --



Laura Benet
worked in a settlement house, and it looks like her Fair Bred (poems), 1921, is fair game! Sister of the other Benets, looks like lifetime freelance author: lots of nonfiction, bios, children's lit.

Eunice Tietjens, the very well known; her Chinese prose poems are very interesting
Babette Deutsch, of poetocs books fame, another "woman supporting herself by her pen" style author of a bit of everything

Florence Ripley Mastin, what's interesting is she has movies and telephone poems, years before Frank O'Hara;

Out of the dark cup
Your voice broke like a flower.
It trembled, swaying on its taut stem.
The caress in its touch
Made my eyes close.

.....From the Telephone by Florence Ripley Mastin

you can see the old-phone earpiece, can't you?

my fave Hazel Hall, cripple confined to an atic up the stairs by her idiot family, had a huge crush on Vachel Lindsay

Marjorie Allen Seiffert, another great modernist poetess

Ruth Pickering

Marya Zaturensky, better known as a fine arts historian and anthologist

MAY DAYS, an anthology edited by Genevieve Taggard, who was poetry editor of THE MASSES

Taggard is the focus of a special section of HOW2 edited by my friend Julia Lisella; I participated in that section by reviewing Taggard's early work

This anthology Taggard edited not with an eye towards "quality" but towards "representation" of the poetry in THE MASSES
-- a portrait of "the age" albeit one sided (only THE MASSES), one which democratically invites the reader to participate in by adding the reader's own verse or own selection (frommemory, from back issues):

"Although much fine poetry was published in THE MASSES-LIBERATOR, I have not tried to restrict this anthology to verse of conspicuous poetic merit. ... I have tried to preserve everything that gave the flavor of those days. Blank pages at the back of the book are provided for the reader who wishes to supplement this selection..."
