Reviews THIS book of poems, beautifully printed and illustrated with some fine wood engravings, is, in good part, a reprint of Mr. Doro's poems first published by the poet himself about two years ago in Paris. But to this first American edition several poems have been added and they make all the difference."Edward Doro's Fantastic Poetry", The New York Times, Eda Lou Walton. December 17, 1933
