Excerpt from Landmarks, and Other Poems The longest poem in the volume is an idyl of Western life, called 'the Pio neet's Chimney, ' and it is greatly to the credit of Mr. Piatt that his blank verse in no sense suggests the idyllic blank verse of Tennyson, but reminds us, if of any one, of the earlier masters of this measure, Wordsworth and Coleridge. Its length pre vents us from quoting it entire, and no extract will do it justice. - R. H. Stoddard. They are unmistakably inspired by genuine love, by sympathy with the human associations that cluster around the objects which he celebrates, and in many instances are softened and almost glorified by an expression of sweet and tender pathos. - New York Tribune.

In The Vintage Book of African American Poetry, editors Michael S. Harper and Anthony Walton present the definitive collection of black verse in the United States--200 years of vision, struggle, power, beauty, and triumph from 52 outstanding poets. From the neoclassical stylings of slave-born Phillis Wheatley to the wistful lyricism of Paul Lawrence Dunbar . . . the rigorous wisdom of Gwendolyn Brooks...the chiseled modernism of Robert Hayden...the extraordinary prosody of Sterling A. Brown...the breathtaking, expansive narratives of Rita Dove...the plaintive rhapsodies of an imprisoned Elderidge Knight . . . The postmodern artistry of Yusef Komunyaka. Here, too, is a landmark exploration of lesser-known artists whose efforts birthed the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts movements--and changed forever our national literature and the course of America itself. Meticulously researched, thoughtfully structured, The Vintage Book of African-American Poetry is a collection of inestimable value to students, educators, and all those interested in the ever-evolving tradition that is American poetry.

Excerpt from "The Justice Stone," Or the Last Sacrifice: And Other Poems During a residence of forty-three years in the parish of Abercorn, the remaining landmarks of its history formed a subject deeply interesting to me; and not the least of these was its Justice Stone (the Clad: a mizaz'a' of our ancestors), situated in the Big Wood, Hopetoun. The most primitive places of worship of our forefathers were at the great boulders - the footprints of the ice age - found scattered over the land These stones, often very difi'erent in their nature from the rocks in the neighbourhood, awoke a kind of awe and superstitious dread in the minds of the common people. The priests were not slow to recognize this feeling and turn it to account. At many of these boulders sacrifices and votive gifts to the gods and to the priests were ofi'ered they also became Seats of Justice. One likes the idea of such Courts being held in the full blaze of the noon-day sun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Temple of Friendship and Other Poems Tms little volume has been put together from the attempts of a very few years. A great part of it has been composed within the last twelve months, and much has been cut out which it has been impossible to revise or complete. Without attempting excuse for the faults that must be found, the author presents these poems with a cherished hope that there will be those, however few, who will find here something true, something beautiful, something worthy of that high and unceasing purpose for which they were written.
