"This little anthology is selected from the poems contributed by "clients" of The Bowling Green, a column printed on the editorial page of the New York Evening Post from February 9, 1920 to December 31, 1923. The responsibility for the choices is enterely mine. I am afraid that I may have missed some pieces that should have been included, for my own file of the Green is not complete. I made my selection by one criterion only: I chose the verses that I had found recurring to my mind of their own vitality. Perhapsthe one final test of verse is, Is it memorable? Does it seem to immigrate into your recollection almost unawares?.So my selfish purpose in preparing this little book is to preserve these poems, like a hoisted string of bright buntings, under the masthead of the column where they were first published: to keep them for my own contemplation and also as a souvenir to kinspirits of a very happy time. Those who were interested in the Green and endured its cranks and crotchets will, I am sure, be glad to have the book. These verses (it should be added) have been chosen from a total of about a thousand poems printed in the Green. For each poem printed there must have been six or seven that were not. I think with humiliation of that great detritus of manuscripts, five or six feet deep, that I had to skim through when making my final clearance.Yet of the six or seven thousand poems that the Green received in those years, these seem to me, on the whole, the most permanent." - excerpt from A Preface and an Epilogue by Christopher Morley, Roslyn Heights, Long Island, February, 1924.
