RECENT VERSE.

Songs of the Groves. [By Victor B. Neuburg] The Vine Press (Steyning, Sussex). 7/6

Songs of the Groves emanates from the Vine Press and modesty or something else obscures the author’s identity. It is a well-printed and bulky volume of derivative verse shewing little power of translation and less labour. The rhyme misguides the sense. A prose argument introduces poem after poem and everything in the book from the mere paper to the matter is over-elaborate and pretentious.
