This third book of 'Georgian Poetry' carries to the end of a seventh
year the presentation of chosen examples from the work of contemporary
poets belonging to the younger generation. Of the eighteen writers
included, nine appear in the series for the first time. The
representation of the older inhabitants has in most cases been
restricted in order to allow full space for the new-comers; and the
alphabetical order of the names has been reversed, so as to bring more
of these into prominence than would otherwise have been done.
My thanks for permission to print the poems are due to Messrs. Chatto &
Windus, Constable, Fifield, Heinemann, Macmillan, Elkin Mathews, Martin
Secker, and Sidgwick & Jackson, and to the Editors of the 'Nation', the
'New Statesman', and 'To-Day'.
