[Selects " The Pillar Saints " and " The Buzzard , " from a group of poems sent by correspondent; says he selected the 2 poems because they are superior in their clear, natural, and simple style, a quality rarely found these days; talks about the poems at length; finds correspondent's idea of a "Poetic Aviary" a good one, provided, the poems reach the excellence of the special lyrics he mentions; comments on a poem by Mr. Williams.]
