Hard to find, I haven't seen another issue of
Poetry (Chicago) from September 1932 in a good many moons, especially in this very good condition. Just a bit of edge wear to the papers wrappers. Nice and clean text.
See photo #2 for complete contents.
Includes a 12-page Index to Volume 40 of the monthly.
61 pages.
Outstanding number of the Chicago monthly includes such highlights as:
Two poems by the 34-year-old poet and teacher Theodore Roethke. Appearing here in the midst of the Great Depression, this is Roethke's first appearance in the monthly, nine years before he published his first collection of verse in 1941.
The youthful New York Harlem Renaissance poet and editor Kathleen Tankersley Young's (1902-1933) first and only appearance in the magazine.
The first appearance in the monthly by poet Mary N.S. Whiteley (three poems).
The able associate editor of the magazine, author and critic Morton Dauwen Zabel contributes a nine page essay headed "Phelps Putnam and America" following the publication of Putnam's The Five seasons, a volume that Zabel finds to show much promise. Putnam is here contrasted with numerous other American poets, most especially Hart Crane.
Poet Winfield Scott's first appearance in the magazine.
Idella Purnell's new poem Toltec Gods.
Much more!
