Book Description

Excerpt from Driftings in Dreamland Poems In presenting this little volume of poems to the public. The writer makes no claim to the distinction of being a great, or even a minor, poet. He believes from the very depths of his being that all men are alike, and one, in essence and therefore, that all have the poetic faculty, either actually or potentially. To demonstrate this by striking a few Chords to which the humblest and lowliest hearts can respond, the collection is published. The poems, al most without exception, were written while the author was quite young. Since then, other work for humanity which seemed more imperative has caused the cessation of any poetical attempts. Whether these youthful poems will ever be justified by the better work of maturer years, depends upon that other work as sumlug or seeming to assume - a relatively lesser importance. But the writer believes there is sufficient merit in this volume to iustify its publication; else it would not be done.
