This audiobook gathers issues of Poetry magazine published from spring through fall 1921, during Harriet Monroe’s editorship. Rather than following a single story, it offers a season-by-season selection of poetry as it appeared in a literary periodical of the early twentieth century.

Listeners can dip into the collection piece by piece or hear it as a snapshot of the magazine’s varied contents. Its appeal lies in encountering poems in their original periodical context, with the range and shifts of voice that an anthology can bring together.
