STEPHEN HAS NE)V BOOK OF I'OE)iIS PUBLISHED A. M. Stephen, 2271 Heywood Ave., noted poet and novelist, has published a book of his latest poems. The volume, originally accepted by J. M. Dent A Sons Ltd. for publication, was delayed so long in the making that Mr. Stephens decided to have the book issued in Vancouver. It is more or less of a pioneer venture in book-making, which has prov- ed very successful. Paper, bind- ing, printing are all the very best that our city can produce. It is a beautiful book, in every sense of the word, besides being hand- made, strong and substantial. It may be the beginning of publi- cation of books by British Col- eimbian authors in their ownprovince. The book, entitled, "Brown Earth and Bunch Grass," con- tains a generous selection of Mr. Stephen's lyrical work, written in recent years. Many poems, al- ready favorites with the public, such as "Vancouver," "Stam- pede,u "Kitsilano," are included. It is probably representative of his best work, and will go fsr towards increasing his fame as a poet. The poems, as s whole, are distinctively Canadian, written in a language which is familiar to our ears, snd they reflect the moods caught from scenery with which we are familiar. But there is a universal quality which gives them a high place in literature. Those interested in the work of our own native writers and in the development of poetry in Canada, cannot afford tobe with- out this volume. We quote the opinion of two well-known and authoritative critics in regard to Mr. Stephen's work. "He is one of our major poets. The fervent and unqualified en- thusiasm comes only on the second or third reading, and then grows. This, I think, is al- ways the way with really first rank verse."--Charles G. D. Roberts. "The poet's individuality of emotion and experience is strong enough to impress itself in com- petition with all predecessors. Furthermore, his wide range of allusions, his use of the whole cultural heritage of the race as a source of imagery snd symbol- ism, unites him with the best poets of our time." -- Lionel Stephenson, Ph. D., University of California. The edition is limited. Each volume is autographed. Those who wish to procure a copy of "Brown Earth and Bunch Grass" should send an order to the author, Mr. A. M. Stephen, at Hollyburn P.O. The volume, bound in silk cloth may be had for 62.50, bound in solid morocco for $5.00. ASTBURY LUMBER CO. Ltd. Cor.
