Poe disapproved of the undertaking in itself; and only men of undoubted genius have succeeded, whereas writers of hardly more than ordinary talent have occasionally turned off something combining brevity and excellence. I feel sure that Mr. Neihardt talks about this journey more impressively than he writes about it. His love lyrics, in A Bundle of Myrrh, are much better.

He has an aggressive champion in the distinguished novelist, May Sinclair, who says his best work is equal to the best of Robert Browning. John G. Neihardt was born in Illinois on the eighth of January, 1881.
