 NEW MACMILLAN POETRY

��Fruit Gathering

��By RABINDRANATH TAGORE

Author of " Sadhana," " The King of the Dark Chamber," etc.

Perhaps of all of Tagore's poetry the most popular volume is " Gitanjali." It was on this work that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. These facts lend special interest to the an- nouncement of this book, which is a sequel to that collection of religious " Song Offerings." Since the issue of his first book, some four years ago, Tagore has rapidly grown in popularity in this coun- try, until now he must be counted among the most widely read of modern poets. Another volume of the merit, the originality, the fine spiritual feeling of " Gitanjali " would even fiirther endear him to his thousands of American admirers.

��Californians

By ROBINSON JEFFERS

$I.2S

California is now to have its part in the poetry revival. Robinson Jeffers is a new poet, a man whose name is as yet unknown but whose work is of such outstanding character that once it is read he is sure of acceptance by those who hr.ve admired the writings of such men as John G. Neihardt, Edgar Lee Masters, Edwin Arling- ton Robinson, and Thomas Walsh. Virtually all of the poems in this first collection have their setting in California, most of them in the Monterey peninsula, and they realize the scenery of the great State with vividness and richness of detail. The author's main source of inspiration has been the varying aspects of nature.
