Poetry and Creative Writing

Literary magazines featuring poetry and prose were prominent among college campuses across the state during wartime and the time leading up to the war. This rare volume contains a modest selection of the work being produced by college-aged Hoosier poets.

"Weep not-- he lies in quiet rest

Under the cool sweet rain;

Eternity has wrapped around him

In its still, earthen chain."

"See

How each star dances

Tonight

And glitters with too bright eyes,

Eyes made bright

By the wine of night!"

-Excerpt from Carousal,
