Harriet Monroe (1860–1936), a minor American poet, was the founder and editor of ‘Poetry: A Magazine of Verse’. Pound, as foreign editor, sent her a copy of ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ in October 1914. In spite of her considerable opposition, Pound was able to persuade her to publish the poem, and it finally appeared in June 1915.
This review contrasts ‘The Waste Land’ with ‘The Box of God’ by Lew Sarett, to the advantage of the latter. Sarett (1888–1954) was a minor American poet.
