Excerpt from Tendencies in Modern American Poetry I wish I had space to consider all the men and women whose work has aided to make this movement Vigorous and important. But that must be left to future literary historians. Still, it is with regret that I pass by the work Of Mr. Louis Untermeyer and Mr. James Oppenheim, of Mr. Ezra Pound and Mr. Vachel Lindsay, of Mr. William Rose Benet and Mrs. Eunice Tietjens, and others as well, but the main tendencies of which they are a part have been considered under other names. It is true that at a first glance Mr. Lindsay does not seem to fall very readily into any Of these groups, but I think a closer attention will find him to be rather popularizing the second stage of the movement than heading a completely new tendency of his own. As to those poets who still cling to an Older order, of course, in such a volume as this, their work can find no place however excellent it may be in itself.
