vii
Many persons have contributed exceedinglyvaluable service to the preparation of these volumes.Credit has been gratefully acknowledged, whereverfeasible, in the course of the text. To makeanything like a full record, however, of the namesof that remarkable society, the ardent and devotedfriends of Joyce Kilmer, would require a chapter.Though particular reference should be made in thisplace to the invaluable assistance of: Kilmer’s life-longfriend and lawyer, Louis Bevier, Jr.; his especialfriend, Thomas Walsh; and his office associate,John Bunker.
Permission has been most cordially granted bythe editors of the following magazines for the reprintingof the poems from France: Scribner’sMagazine, Good Housekeeping, The SaturdayEvening Post, America, and The Bookman. Essaysand miscellaneous pieces have been gathered,with the warm approval of the editors of these publications,from these sources: The Bookman, TheNew York Times Sunday Magazine, The Bellman,The Catholic World, Poetry: A Magazine of Verse,viiihe Smart Set, Munsey’s Magazine and Puck—acuriously assorted company, highly expressive ofthe catholicity of the mind these pages reflect.
The article on Hilaire Belloc, originally one ofKilmer’s lectures, was first printed in the Americanedition of Belloc’s “Verses.” The early poems havebeen chosen from Kilmer’s first book, “A Summerof Love,” now out of print, rights to which are heldby Mrs. Aline Kilmer. Poems not otherwise creditedhave been reprinted from the volumes alreadypublished by George H. Doran Company.
