Excerpt from Igdrasil

Poetry, like the tree Igdrasil, has deep, down-thrust ing roots in the underlying kingdoms of the world, roots that are watered by the Norn of the Past as well as by the Norns of the Present and the Future. In the long run this holds true of both the manner and substance Of poetry, and it is a consciousness of that fact which has dictated the form of many of the poems in this volume, - even of those which may seem the most radical technically: the sonnets in free verse. Free verse, which has by now established itself as a legitimate form, has broken up the rhythms Of English poetry which were becoming crystallized and mechan ical. It has given a new vitality and a new flexibility. But, for the present, experiment has been pushed as far as it safely may be. It is time now to consolidate the gains.
