Excerpt from Poets of Our Day Within the last ten years we have had the contri butors to Mr Elkin Matthews' Shilling Garland, who established a new tradition of English poetry, just as their immediate predecessors, the members of the Rhymers' Club, represented the Irish Renascence, to which so much of the best modern verse owes its inspiration 5 and a group of Canadian poets has Sprung up to bear witness to the freshness and vigour of the New World English. Modern poets, therefore, can be divided into three groups, English, Irish, and American, and these three divisions represent three separate intellectual and literary movements.
