Sasnett to discuss war poetry trends
For the 12th in a series of book interpretations, J. Randolph Sasnett, executive secretary of religious activities, will discuss the current trends in war poetry tomorrow at 3:30 in Bowne hall, Philosophy building, when he reviews “The Healing of the Waters” by Thornton Wilder and “A Winter Tide” by Robert Nathan.
Robert Nathan speaks with clarity and force of the terror and suffering and baffling complexity of this troubled time of ours,” said Sasnett. “Moreover his voice is not a howl of despair, on the one hand, nor a blind prophecy of a future utopia on the other. He does offer reasonable bases of hope.” Concerning Thornton Wilder’s “The Healing of the Waters,” Sasnett pointed out that Mr. Wilder’s writings have caused him to be likened to Wordsworth. “Yet,” Sa.s-nett commented, “allow no one to imagine that Wilder is as ponderous as Wordsworth ... He exercises his powers with a lightness of touch that gives his wisdom and philosophy a modernity of style.” Mrs. Hazel Littlefield Smith, au-
thor of “Mortar Harvest,” will be at Sasnett’s lecture and will autograph copies of her book for those desiring it. Well known for his intensive study in poetry, Sasnett is speaking under the auspices of the Council of Religion, the University library, and the Faculty Religious Interests committee.
