Excerpt from Buds of Promise
The most important quality here is the spiritual real ty. This is not always regarded as such but it is the absolutely essential quality of poetry. This comes direct from.the soul. It does not come from the head and is not doctored by the eye and ear. There is no sign of effort or strain. None Of the cleverness Or smartness that is so deadly, and no pretentions to talent or genius. It is a straight, honest, natural and direct utterance out of the heart and like all such realities, it has spontaneity and appeal. I do not see or feel a falsetto line or note in it. It is simple, Sincere and vital. That cannot be a small virtue\ which is the very soul of all good poetry.
The thought qualities are not especially marked. This is not rich, passionate, original or creating. These could hardly be expected from a freshman school girl and from work written in her first teen years Life, experience and 'growth will supply these later.
