Dear Lissi,
Yes, my copy is edited by Roy J. Cook, and he's
written a preface. If the newer copies I saw at the
used-book store weeks ago is still there I'll buy it
and mail it to anyone who wants to scan it--making
sure it has the same poems. The covers were identical
to mine.
BTW, my book is copyrighted 1929--before I was born.
It must have been my parents at one time, though I
remember having it as a child. It, too, is revised
edition. I wonder when these poems were first
compiled.
O.K. I checked Amazon. The copies they have have
different covers so the ones in my used-book store, if
they're still there, must be like mine. I also found a
review by a lover of the book that that I'm posting
here for those who are interested. Apparently it was
first published in 1916 and has never been out of
print.
