Book excerpt: Excerpt from Year Book of the Poetry Society of South Carolina for 1921 Practically untouched by art, and within the memory of living men, the South has passed through three great phases replete with poetic material, first, the colorful, romantic days before the war, then the tragedies, the sacrifices, and the lifting courage of our rebirth, and now the surgent vital days of our own time, with their strong realism standing out in bas relief against a background of unbelievable color, charm and romance. These things are going to be, must be, expressed, and their underlying ideals interpreted by our own people; but unfortunately, there is little or no opportunity of publication for poetry dealing with Southern themes, especially from the pen of a beginner. The publishers state very definitely what they want, and for what they will pay; and as they are, almost without exception, situated in New York, New England or the Middle West, they are naturally often out of sympathy with and incapable of understanding our needs and aims.
