The Congo and Other Poems

By VACHEL LINDSAY

With a preface by Harriet Monroe, Editor of the Poetry Magazine.

Cloth, 12mo, $1.25; leather, $1.50

In the readings which Vachel Lindsay has given
for colleges, universities, etc., throughout the country,
he has won the approbation of the critics and
of his audiences in general for the new verse-form
which he is employing, as well as the manner of
his chanting and singing, which is peculiarly his
own. He carries in memory all the poems in his
books, and recites the program made out for him;
the wonderful effect of sound produced by his lines,
their relation to the idea which the author seeks
to convey, and their marvelous lyrical quality are
quite beyond the ordinary, and suggest new possibilities
and new meanings in poetry. It is his
main object to give his already established friends a
deeper sense of the musical intention of his pieces.

The book contains the much discussed "War
Poem," "Abraham Lincoln," "Walks at Midnight";
it contains among its familiar pieces: "The Santa
Fe Trail," "The Fireman's Ball," "The Dirge for
a Righteous Kitten," "The Griffin's Egg," "The
Spice Tree," "Blanche Sweet," "Mary Pickford,"
"The Soul of the City," etc.

Mr. Lindsay has just received the Levinson
Prize for the best poem contributed to the Poetry
Magazine (Chicago) for 1915.

"We do not know a young man of any more
promise than Mr. Vachel Lindsay for the task
which he seems to have set himself." — The Dial.

TWO NEW BOOKS BY PERCY MACKAYE

The New Citizenship

Boards 16° $.50

"The New Citizenship" is a pageant ceremony, or ritual,
to present in dramatic form the importance and the dignity
of citizenship in the United States. The pageant may be
used indoors or out-of-doors, by day or by night, on a scale
simple or elaborate, but it is especially suitable for presentation
on a large scale in an out-door stadium at night. The
invitation into citizenship is too often a stereotyped formality;
it is here presented as a dramatic event of serious significance.
It is particularly well adapted for use in schools, especially
where there is a large foreign element.

A Substitute for War

Boards 16° $.50

"My object in this essay is to suggest that the 'moral equivalent
of war' can be made fascinating and effectual by utilizing
the dynamic arts of the theatre to give it symbolical expression."

Civic pageantry is capable of redirecting waste energies
which now go towards the drama by war. It satisfies man's
needs for color and rhythm, for sacrifice and consecration, for
companionship and communal effort. The author writes as
one who has succeeded in creative work along the lines of his
theories.
