POET LAUREATE IS SUBJECT OF FINE ARTS SERIES The new Illinois Poet Laureate, Gwendolyn Brooks, will be among the "Six Illinois Poets" to be discussed by Ila Moody when she presents a program Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. at the Woodstock Opera House. This will be the fourth in the Creative Living Series of the Woman's guild of the Fine Arts association. Gwendolyn Brooks, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1950 for her "Annie Allen" has herself given aprogramfor the Creative Living Series two years ago. She was one of the series highlights and will be invited to return when her busy schedule permits. Ila Moody is especially interested in Harriet Monroe, founder and until her death in 1936, editor of "Poetry: A Magazine of Verse" which exercised great influence in the years prior to World War I, and is still being published, open to every sort of experimental work. Edgar Lee Masters, another of Mrs. Moody's choices, first studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1891. Literature was his real love, though, and in 1915 his famous "Spoon Ri-a ver Anthology" was published. It is a realistic and dramatic picture of life in the Middle West. The next appraisal by Ila Moody will be that of Archibald MacLeish, who was born in nearby Glencoe. He devoted his time, after graduating from Yale and Harvard and serving in World War I, until 1939 to the writing of poetry and dramas. At that time President Roosevelt appointed him Librarian of Congress, and was Assistant Secretary of State from 1944 to 1945. He won the Pulitzer Prize twice (1933 and 1953) for his narrative poem "Conquistador" and his "Collected Poems". Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, another in Ila Moody's group of "Six Illinois Poets" after attending college, made long tours afoot, somewhat in the manner of the medieval troubadors, paying his way by reciting and selling his poems. His best known works include "General William Booth Enters Heaven" "The Congo" and "The Chinese Nightingale", all remarkable for their rhythm and phoenetic effects. Anyone may purchase tickets at the Opera House on the day of the performance or use a series ticket which also will admit a guest for an extra »"punch".
