IMPORTANT BOOKS OF POETRY
By GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY
THE FLIGHT AND OTHER POEMS

APHRODITE AND OTHER POEMS
This book introduces another poet of promise to the verse-lovers of this country. It is of interest to learn that Mr. Helston, who for several years was an operative mechanic in electrical works, has created a remarkable impression in England where much is expected of him. This volume, characterized by verse of rare beauty, presents his most representive work, ranging from the long descriptive title-poem to shorter lyrics.
