Peal Andelson - Songs of Death & Other VerseForgotten Poets #2 / forgottenpoets. substack.

com'Songs of Death & Other Verse' [90 pages] beings together, for the first time, Chicago poet Pearl Andelson's free and formal poetry from the 1920s, including a generous selection of verse from her first collection, Fringe (1923), and various uncollected poems from 'little magazines' (1921-28); with illustrations by Marguerite Zorach and Mildred Heinau. Andelson wrote for Harriet Monroe's Poetry, and was a member of the Chicago Poetry club, alongside Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Janet Lewis, and John Tiggo.

Winters would say of her work; "Andelson has developed and mastered a compact and beautiful technique that can apparently be made as simple or intricate as she desires. .

. [with] precise, flawless juxtaposition, and an exquisite mastery of end and internal rhyme.

Verses are carefully selected & spaciously laid-out, adorned with illustrations & ornaments from the books & magazines they originally appeared in.

These are not "reprints" of previously published books, but newly crafted collections, for the serious poetry lover. .
