[[dragon illustration]] nanek[?] THE DRAGON GLASS by Virginia "Nanek" Anderson -oOo- No magic mirror of Japan can hold upon its gilded span, Enchantment as this mirror can. 'Round its edge the dragon lies, and in his heavy-lidded eyes Suspicion never, never dies. This is no ordinary glass, upon whose surface pictures pass Reflected in its crystal mass. This mirror is a limpid door, that leads beyond to one world more And to that new world's ancient lore. (Dedicated to A. Merritt.) [[underline]]BOOK REVIEW[[end underline]] [[underline]]THEY[[end underline]]. by "Lilith Lorraine" (Mary M. Wright.) Avalon Prese, Route 8, Box 83-F, San Antonio, Texas. Price, 35[[cent symbol]]. THIS BROCHURE is Lilith Lorraine's latest publication, and consists of a very ambitious 52 stanza poem of "prophecy". To my mind, [[underline]]They[[end underline]] failed to live up to its advance billing as "a daring venture in verse which will knock the lid off"---this reviewer is inured to radical predictions---but nevertheless this fine piece of work struck me as a most successful attempt to say in poetry what the more future-minded stf authors have been saying in prose. Though not strictly fantasy, and marred by an occasional stanza not up to Lilith's best work, [[underline]]They[[end underline]] should appeal to all poetically inclined fans. (FTL) -- 19 --
