American Poet

On August 10 the Columbia Workshop, noted radio theater, presented, over the coast-to-coast CBS hook-up, a half-hour verse play "The Music of the Mountains," by Kimball Flaccus '33. This was a return engagement for the young poet, for his first radio play "Fulton Fish Market" was likewise a Workshop production.

Since his graduation from Dartmouth, where he was the outstanding poet of his college generation, Kimball Flaccus has become one of the leading young poets of America. In 1934 he received a fellowship from Dartmouth for research in Irish literature and in 1939 he became a member of the executive committee of the Poetry Society of America.

He spent the summer of 1941 at the MacDowell Colony in Peterboro, working on a novel of contemporary modern life. His earlier verse books include Avalanche of April and TheWhite Stranger.
