The author of this modestly-named volume has honored me with an invitation to say a biief, prefatory word about his work. But I am going to presume upon our cherished friendship to evade such limitations as to brevity, lor Ishall speak carte blanche, without reserve, in the fullness of an admiration born of a critical, impartial analysis. The public has a right to know about its poets. The poet may not follow others lead And lightly write what some may lightly read; But true to life, his lines some trace mustjbear Of lifes mysterious sorrow and despair. This is a stanza from Mr. Mc Carthy sword-painting of The Poet. I consider it typical of himself it describes my poet accurately and well. He does not follow others lead. His lines are true to life and they breathe of lifes mysterious sorrow. Denis A. Mc Carthy was born in I reland in the Golden Vale of Tipperary, and came to Boston when but a boy.
