The Green-Room


ISSUE:  Winter 1926


The poems of Lawrence Lee have already made his name familiar to readers of the Quarterly.—and of many other magazines as well.

The facetious essayist of this issue is Vincent Starrett of Chicago, who is best known as a poet. His several published volumes of prose include studies of Arthur Machen and Ambrose Bierce.

Deirdre O’Shea, the author of the study of “A. E.” (George William Russell, the Irish poet and statesman) is a young friend of Russell’s and of James Stephens’, living now in New York.
