New Books in Poetry Room

The Poetry Room of the Widener Library is inaugurating a new plan to render the standard modern poets more readily accessible.

Through use of funds with which Henry Harkness Flagler, of New York, endowed the room in 1931 as a foundation to George Edward Woodberry '77, latest editions of contemporary English and American poets have been procured to form a permanent, fairly complete library of modern poetry.

Formerly the Room had no such library outside of the incomplete collection of Amy Lowell's books.
