About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Dawn Fraser's Narrative Verse and Comments: Including "Songs of Siberia," "Echoes From Labor's War," "Fraser's Filosophies," All the Old Stuff and a Lot of New Ones

The material on the following pages is not in troduced as poetry or poems, and the writer would much prefer to have them considered and referred to is rhymes or narrative verse, because he knows from experience and observation that it is practically im possible to have the average reader consider any verse that is introduced as a poem. It seems, indeed, to be the decision of the recognized critics that the value of beauty of any verse consists in not expressing any intelligent idea, and it seems also that some mental humility common to the average reader prompts him to accept the decision of the so-called critics. The attitude seems to be that the critic is omnipotent and the average reader so far mentally inferior that he 1:innot appreciate the clawsics. So while conceding the superior excellence of the poems endorsed by the critics, they don't attempt to read them, and never buy them. Perhaps some of us are of a lower sphere of intelligence. But just see if you can get your teeth into this.
