Mrs. Wesenberg Tells

University Women of Modern Poetry Trends

Today's Writers Prefer That the Reader Feel Rather Than Understand Their Work, Butler Professor Says.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON Myre, Thor G. Wesenberg extended a modicum of comfort yesterday afternoon to all whose brows become furrowed when they start reading modern poetry. It's quite all right to like poetry you don’t understand, because today's poets prefer that we feel rather than understand — at first anyway, she said. Mrs. Wesenberg, Butler University English professor, cleared up a number of moot points in her discussion of “Present Trends in Poetry” at the guest meeting of the contemporary literature gtoup of the American Association of University Women in the

Woman's Department Club, A large part of the present trend is based upon the principle that things we can’t understand at first reading are mote interesting than things we can. Mrs. Wesenberg said. I'm the last 15 years there has been a tendency toward the intellectual in poetry—even the unintelligible intellectual, With the enthusiasm for symbolism the idea that the great poetry of the world is poetry “with more than one laver” is paining momentum. Mrs. Wesenberg suggested that many of our poets have gone too far in this respect. On the other hand, in the case of the young left wing writers, the love of intricacy for its own sake has given place to enthusiasm for a cause, she said “The new order of society is creeping into poetry despite the fact that if we take our modern poetry seriously there's a lot that leaves Us puzzled and troubled. Generally speaking, however, modern poets are returning to melody and beauty in the expression of important ideas.” Mrs. Wesenberg said Mrs. Emmett B. Lamb presided at the meeting, . = 2 = 2 ”

Slump Hits Women Miss Holmes, who began her own career as a pound a week typist in London and now is a partner in a London bond house and director of a savings bank in Budapest, said the last world slump demonstrated that the business and professional woman is the first to lose her well paid job in bad times and the last to regain it in good ones. “Only women can put other women in the place where they belong,” she said. “Only women can help women to get and keep not only our rights and opportunities but all the public powers and re= sponsibilities that rightfully helong to women, One method is to come out in the open, cut out the modest violet business and take all the publicity they can get for the sake of other women.”
