I read Walt Mason with great delight. His poems have wonderful fun and kindliness, and I have enjoyed them the more for their having so strongly all the qualities I liked so much in my American friends when I was living in the United States.
I don’t know any book which has struck me as so genuine a voice of the American nature.
I am glad that his work is gaining a wider and wider recognition.
