The Second Book of Modern Verse: A Selection From the Work of Contemporaneous American Poets

Edited by Jessie B. Rittenhouse

Published by The Riverside Press, Houghton Mifflin Company, Cambridge, MA, 1919

About this Item

224 pages containing approximately 200 poems, written largely between 1913-1919, with an Index of Authors and an Index of First Lines.

The binding is intact, but the cover is worn, with the top of the spine missing. The pages are in good shape and easy to read.

A previous owner has inserted many other poems clipped from newspapers. They are glued to blank spots on the pages so that the clipping, where it covers text, can be lifted away to read the page.

There are also clippings and photos concerning a Vaughn L. Sprenkel, a physician who passed away in 1937; it is not know what connection he has to this book.
