The Best Loved Poems of the American People
by Hazel FellemanAdolph S. Ochs, publisher of the new york times Throughout his life loved poetry. He was keenly interested in the number of inquiries regarding it that came to the editorial rooms of the new york times Book Review, and he started the Queries and Answers page to handle them. The selection of verses collected under the title "The Best Loved Poems of the American People" is based on the most frequently requested items that have cleared through these columns over a period of three decades. During a large part of this time, Hazel Felleman has been the editor of Queries and Answers. From every state in the Union, and even beyond its borders, have come countless letters asking for this poem or that, or for the complete poem whose theme is such-and-such, or the song whose refrain is thus-and-so. Miss Felleman has long had her finger on the poetry pulse of the nation. Its heartbeats are truly registered in this, her book. In a sense, this book has been edited by the American people who love poetry. Miss Felleman is the liaison officer who has coordinated the poetry preferences of the nation. She has assembled the results in orderly fashion and given them back in an enduring and friendly form. This book was published originally in 1936 and i know of no better or more diverse collection of poetry anywhere. The Editor writes, "In the compilation of this book I have drawn on my experience as editor of the Queries and Answers page of the new york times Book Review over a period of fifteen years. The majority of inquiries that I receive are for favorite poems, and since not a day passes that does not bring to my desk a large sheaf of letters from all parts of the country, it is only natural that I have learned something of the poetry preferences of the American people. I have used this knowledge rather than my own personal liking in the selection of these poems; but I feel free to say that there are few of the poems that I would not have included myself."
