Summary:

Originally published in Detroit and Cincinnati between 1922 and 1932, the three collections presented in this volume form a bridge between an earlier poetic tradition and the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance. Poets Clara Ann Thompson (A Garland of Poems), J. Pauline Smith ("Exceeding Riches" and Other Verse), and Mazie Earhart Clark (Garden of Memories) treat such early-twentieth-century issues as world war, economic depression, club women, church work, and racial uplift.
