It has been our intention to explore the roots of the modernist movement in poetry. Or to quote from Charles Olson, our collection is a return "to beginnings, to the syllable, for the pleasures of it, to intermit." Like most pioneers, our poets are on the whole bluff, homely and lacking in elegance. Their ostensible concerns are unpretentious and of practical aim: instructing youths in the good life, developing writers of shorthand, teaching bird-whistles, building siloes, treating dizziness in geese, eradicating rats and aerating potatoes. Unlikely subjects for poems, the skeptical reader may retort! Possibly, as Donald Hall surmises in one of his recent anthologies, it has something to do with the Sitwells. However, hostility to new discoverles in poetry is traditional among anthologists and critics (cf. J. Keats and the Quarterly Review); we do not expect to overcome this hostility at one stroke, but appeal to the unprejudiced reader to grant our poets, plebeian though their apparent subject matter often is, their proper place in the history of letters. And what is that place? We are as wary of making excessive claims as are, for example, Yvor Winters and Karl Shapiro, to name two otherwise dissimilar critics. But we cannot conceal our conviction that many of the poems which appear in this volume are of a truly pivotal importance in the evolution of modern poetry, particularly of the now largely dominant open-field or open-face forms. Most of these poets composed their major works long before those of more celebrated contemporaries. XX Contents: CONTENTS: Preface, Edwin J. Brett, F. W. Woll, Mark Hovell, F.R. C.
