These 300 poems are a selection of Phyllis McGinley's best from three productive decades. They represent the whole range of her deft, de-lightful, wise, and inimitable verse. Included, moreover, are seventy new poems written since The Love Letters and never published in a book before — a generous treat for the legions of McGinley-lovers. Looking at this collection, no reader can fail to be struck by what a remarkable talent it repre-sents. Under the casual lightness, the gay good-nature, the sly digs at human foibles including her own, lurks a woman who is so knowing that it frightens you, so modest that you almost overlook how consistently she is on the side of the angels. Her technical craft, so much admired by other poets and by critics of all ranks, is a part of her unfailing charm. But the spell she casts is more than that. Perhaps it lies in her happy knack of striking sparks from the commonplace, drawing poetic overtones from scenes and situations all of us recognize. The poems are arranged by decades, so that the reader, if he wishes, can read them consecutively and in the mood of the times they were written for. There are serious poems here as well as humorous ones, long as well as short, both topical and timeless. Some have already been picked to appear in the standard anthologies; many have won prizes. With the new poems in this collection, however, a new judgment of Miss McGinley's place on our literary scene is called for. Mr. Auden, who introduces this volume, is not the only one to feel that its appearance is a major event.
