Contents include poetry and short works by Amy Lowell Richard Aldington and Margaret Anderson. Contains a paragraph dedicated to Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: "There isn't time for me to write about James Joyce's The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in this issue. It came too late from the publisher. So far as I have seen the whole comment of the reviewers has been on the background for the portrait: "the social political and religious life of Ireland today" etc. But there is the portrait itself - bearing a slight resemblance to the Playboy a strong sensitive romancer; and the painting of the portrait - spontaneous masterly free: the color like this: "The spell of arms and voices: the white arms of roads their promise of close embraces and the black arms of tall ships that stand against the moon their tale of distant nations." Next time I shall have something more to tell of Joyce - something thrilling and personal" p.17. An interesting snippet of text foretelling Anderson's serialization of Ulysses in The Little Review between 1918-1920. Rear wrapper bears a full-page ad by B.W.
