Excerpt from Wilt Thou Not Sing?: A Book of Verses
The poetry of Alice Harriman reflects the heart of things in our great West. She writes verses that have all the largeness, the simplicity, the strength of the Nature whose moods she reflects. Her themes are never subtle, complex. They lack what is called in the jargon of this subj ect uni versality. One must be unjaded and a youth in spirit to appreciate such lines.
It is not easy for any poet in this sardonic and sophisti cated age to feel emotions sincerely, with no histrionic self consciousness. It is because she has retained the child likeness of inspiration that Alice Harriman can give us verses like a draught from the cup of the Nature she knows so intimately. Hers is a voice from the heart of that tre mendous West of which we have all heard, for which we all long. We are a breed that flocks to cities, knowing little or nothing of the high mountains, the far horizons. Mrs. Harriman brings us the soul of these things. She dif fuses it.
