| Summary |
"The Little Review, April 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 2)" by Various is a literary magazine published in the early 20th century. It features a collection of poems, critical essays, and letters discussing various literary and artistic topics relevant to that time. The content reflects the burgeoning modernist movement, with notable contributions from poets like Carl Sandburg and Ezra Pound, and offers insightful commentary on contemporary art and literature. The opening of this edition presents a range of poetic works alongside critical reflections. It begins with four poems by Carl Sandburg, exploring themes of love, loss, and societal observation, such as in "Gone," which laments the mysterious departure of a beloved character, Chick Lorimer. Following this, Sherwood Anderson reflects on Theodore Dreiser's influence on American literature, portraying Dreiser as a complex figure who paved the way for future writers. Additionally, there is a letter from Ezra Pound critiquing book tariffs and their detrimental effect on literature accessibility in America. Overall, the beginning of this literary magazine sets the stage for a vibrant and critical dialogue about the arts during a transformative period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
