Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 21: April, 1917 It would seem that almost anyone could write this free verse, this verse that Max Eastman calls Pozy verse. Not so. Among those who have read vers libre successfully in America are Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost, Amy Lowell, Carl Sandburg, and others. They write in the ordinary phrase construction of everyday speech. It seems that the poet who would express the realities of modern life finds himself practically confined to the two media, free verse or prose. Shall we carry these to the extreme? It is a question worthy of considera tion. There are many who contend that free verse is merely rhythmical prose chopped up into lines. This is not true. It must be said, however, that the difference is more one of degree than of kind. In free verse we find more of an interior, subtle rhythm, which impresses itself upon the eye as well as upon the ear.
