Selected Poems (Furlong)

These poems preserve a voice from a particular American moment - 1929, on the cusp of the Great Depression, when literary magazines still nurtured quiet, contemplative verse. Alice E. Furlong published in The Saturday Evening Quill, and this collection gathers her work from that era. The poems move through moments of loss, beauty, and longing with a precision that rewards patient reading. They are not loud poems; they do not demand attention but earn it through careful attention to language itself. For readers curious about the landscape of American poetry before the modernist movement fully reshaped the form, Furlong offers an unexpected discovery - a voice that speaks across nearly a century with still-relevant emotion.
