Notes
A CALENDAR OF WAR VERSE: Starry-vision'd songs of Fame Crown with Love the Warrior's Name! for 1918. An unusual calendar, seemingly meant for desk or wall use, which has a different page for each week of 1918, and for each week, has a different poem by a famous WWI-era writer or poet. The calendar is dedicated "to the memory of Alan Seeger, our soldier-poet." Attractive front page designed by R. Weir Crouch. Includes the following poems, among others

THE TRUMPET-CALL by Alfred Noyes

THE SOLDIER by Rupert Brooke

THEY ALSO SERVE by Faith Baldwin

THE NAVAL RESERVES by Faith Baldwin

THE LARK by Robert W. Service

THE STARS AND STRIPES by Theodosia Garrison

I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH... by Alan Seeger

"L'ENVOI" by Robert W. Service

HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE by Walter de la Mare

O GLORIOUS FRANCE by Edgar Lee Masters

BELGIUM by Edith Wharton

and many more. Volume is encased in plain green boards which have nicely protected the fragile ring-bound volume. Front cover is detached from one ring, but still holding from the other. Interior has some pencil markings, and inside of front green board bears bookplate of G.W. Penniman.
