Twenty-One by Mulford Doughty This slim volume of poetry was first published around 1917. The poet is very obscure, and little is known about his life. The twenty-one poems are written in a late-Romantic / early-Modern American idiom, and reflect themes characteristically treated by poets of the Edwardian era: war, youth, mortality, and emotional dislocation. Doughty appears to belong to a transitional literary generation. He is no radical modernist, like Pound or Eliot but is not enamoured of the comfortable sentimentality of late Victorian verse. This collection was first published by Librivox on 4th August, 2026.
