A compilation of Mississippi-authored poetry by Laurel, Mississippi resident Ernestine Clayton Deavours (1892-1966) with her Preface on pages 11-13 which, in conjunction with her leadoff comments at each poet's respective contribution, might leave one wondering whether she secured appropriate permissions to reprint all seventy-three authors which favor the obscure (Henry M. Abney, Julia K. Wetherill Baker, Chattie Beall, S. Newton Berryhill, Margaret Hunt Brisbane, Marcus T. Carpenter, Lafayette R. Hamberlin, S.A. Jonas, Eleanor Percy Lee, Walter Malone, Eliza Jane Nicholson, Irwin Russell, J. Augustine Signaigo, et al) but at least three prominent writers too including William Alexander Percy, Eron Opha Rowland, and Stark Young.
