About this book
Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, Vol 18, April-September 1921 captures a pivotal moment in American literary history when modernist innovation clashed boldly with traditional verse. This collection, edited by the legendary Harriet Monroe, presents the most compelling contributions published during spring and summer of 1921—a transformative period that would shape poetry for generations to come.

The selections showcase the magazine's commitment to experimental forms, imagism, and the fresh aesthetic movements sweeping through the literary world.
