Secret Way - Zona Gale - Bog

"Poems of delicacy and sensitiveness expressing the deep secret urge of the soul toward things that shall not pass. We were interested in "The Secret Way," Zona Gale's latest volume of verse recently published. We found them even better than we had anticipated, quite up to Miss Gale's usual standard. Her poems possess that melodious harmony which we though quite departed from modern verse, while their sweetness and complacency is charming. We should list her Terza Rima in this class because of the appeal of their rhythm and tone. But Miss Gale is not a bas bleu of the past. In her Prose Notes occupying the latter portion of the book we found modernisms or striking quality both in form and structure. However, she is most at home with the simplest of her verse." --"The Independent and the Weekly Review" [1921]
