ATLANTA-A WORKSHOP FOR POETS
ATLANTA-AN INSPIRATION TO POETS

"Atlanta, to my mind, has two seasons of supreme beauty and poetic
power: mid-autumn, with its brilliance, and spring, with her incomparable
crown of dogwood. Atlanta in October is a glory of scarlet and gold, with the
oaks and maples, the sorrel and dogwood in full fire... Even Rock Creek
Park in Washington, famous for its autumn color, is no more beautiful than
are the wooded regions of Atlanta, and the Georgia oaks burn as brightly as
the northern maples!
"All this flame of trees and smoke 'of Indian summer haze inevitably sets
a writer on fire, and many are the poems laid to October's credit-or
discredit! -truly the writing of crimson-colored poetry is an inescapable
urge!
"Yet there is an urge even more deadly that comes in the spring! And
Atlanta's March, April and May-with her nationally famous gardens and
her canopies of flowering trees, the pink and white dogwood and her rose-
tinted crabapple-all these beauties bring her writers to fever-pitch. They
distract her poets and destroy her poetasters, and poems flow unceasingly! I
am guilty as all the rest; I have written of her dogwood; described the
petals of the pear-blossoms snowing down on the city streets; and have
gathered metaphors far and wide in her gardens. There is a certain beautiful
wall around an estate that I have put into a poem without ever telling the
chate-lame of the garden about my thievery! I have ravaged like a wolf
through springtime Atlanta, finding a line here, a stanza there, and
sometimes my inspiration comes from a sunken garden, sometimes from a
skyscraper! There is a genuine Roman wine-jar, standing on a hillside terrace
deep down behind Peachtree Road, that I ant working into a lyric; there
is a poem I wrote about the stars that I could see from a window on the
eleventh story of the Ponce de Leon Apartments!
"One of the true forces of poetry in Atlanta is her [group of poets].
She has an unusually large number, and the Arts always flourish in coteries.
Aroused and instigated by the beautiful and virile life of Atlanta, a true
and vivid Georgian literature is arising."
- Thus wrote Agnes Kendrick Gray for a symposium by Atlanta writers in
the Atlanta Journal in 1929. The remainder of this section is devoted
to the groups of poetry writers and to the poetry magazines in this city.

POETRY SOCIETIES

Among the writing groups in Atlanta, poetry plays a conspicuous part.
An organization of student writers, the Poetae Fraternity of the
Technological High School, founded in 1925, has issued from the school press
two editions of [Dawn Songs], a collection of verse written by members of the
society. Robert Leseur Jones was the editor of the first volume, and the
second edition is a memorial to him. Besides the poems of "Bob" Jones
these two collections contain other verse of beauty and promise.
A forerunner of the Atlanta Writers Club was the famous Hemans
Literary Society founded in the late seventies by Major and Mrs. Charles W.
Hubner, and in which only a high standard of writing was recognized. The
presidency of the Atlanta Writers Club has been filled from time to time by
many of the Atlanta poets-notably Ernest Hartsock, Anderson M. Scruggs, and
Daniel Whitehead Hicky. The poetry division of this organization, known
as the Poetry Forum, is functioning actively in its work of stimulating verse
writing by the annual prizes offered for the best poems produced by its
members.
Two other groups of verse writers are the Quill Club and the poetry
section of the Amateur Writers' Club

POETRY MAGAZINES
An important factor in the development of poetry in this section was
Ernest Hartsock, who refused to entertain ideas of locating in any of the
larger centers of the East, and determined to use his talents in his native
city. His interest in poetry as a life work, a profession, led him to the
publishing business and to the editorship of a magazine of poetry, and to his
work with the poetry group of Atlanta.
In 1926, Hartsock founded the Bozart Press, its name a daring retort to
the playful but pointed thrust delivered by H.. L. Mencken at the South by
calling it the "Sahara of Bozart" (Bozart being an ingenious contraction for
[beaux arts]) During its brief existence (the Bozart Press was discontinued
after the editor's death in 1930) more than thirty books were published, each
with patience and skill. The press was a kind of art press; frequently the
books were illustrated, and the drawings by John Funk are of rare excellence.
A year later, in September-October, 1927 Hartsock, under his owner
editorship, put forth the first issue of [Bozart, the Bi-Monthly Poetry
Review]. This publication immediately became an outstanding verse magazine.
When, at the close of 1929, Benjamin Musser presented his two magazines,
[Contemporary Verse and Japm] to the young editor, the united magazine became
legally known under patent as [Bozart and Contemporary Verse].
In introducing [Bozart], the editor stated that the magazine "is
designed to be not a sectional venture but a national one," and early in
its career outstanding poets from many different sections of the country
began crossing the Sahara to Atlanta, glad to appear in Bozart. Among those
earlier contributors are found the names of Gamaliel Bradford, Lizette
Woodworth Reese, Mark Van Doren, Cale Young Rice, Isabell Fiske Conant,
Robert P. Tristram Coffin, Norman McLeod, Katherine Lee Bates, Sara
Henderson Hay and others.
After Hartsock's death Mary Brent Whiteside, Robert' Leseur Jones,
and Wightman F. Melton, in the order named, succeeded to the editorship of
[Bozart-Contemporary Verse]. In 1935 another merger was made when the
[Westminster Magazine], founded by Thornwell Jacobs, formed a new combination.
[The Westminster Magazine] had been converted by Robert Leseur Jones
from a church paper to a literary magazine, and under the editorship of
Robert England it was changed into a quarterly review, which emphasized
distinctly modern verse, not merely contemporary. For the three years of its
existence as a quarterly review, [The Westminster Magazine] had many notable
contributors from France, England, and America.
Under its new title, [Bazart-Westminster], the poetry magazine
continues to draw from many sections of the country. James E. Routh is the
present editor and the Oglethorpe Press is the publisher.

VERSECRAFT

[Versecraft], another Atlanta magazine of poetry, which draws its
contributors from all parts of this country and abroad, was founded in 1931.
Dr. Wightman F. Melton was the editor for two years. Lawrence W. Neff is the
present editor, and James E. Warren, Junior, is associate editor. Ralph
Cheney and Lucia Trent are consulting editors. There are eleven regional
editors in various key cities throughout the country. The magazine is issued
five times annually, and it is published by the Banner Press. Edwin Markham,
Theda Kenyon, Harold Vinal, John Richard Moreland, Clinton Scollard,
Laura Benet, and Benjamin Musser are among the nationally known poets
who have contributed to [Versecraft]. Mr. Neff also operates the Banner Press,
which was established in 1919, and which has published many volumes of
poetry.
