Description
Elinor Wylie filled Nets to Catch the Wind with short poems, listed on its contents page one by one. Early titles include Beauty, The Eagle and the Mole, and Madman's Song. August, The Crooked Stick, and Wild Peaches follow. No prose frame joins them in the sample.
Later poems turn to a crowded trolley car, bells in the rain, and winter sleep. Village Mystery, Sunset on the Spire, and Escape keep the mix of town and nature scenes. Fire and Sleet and Candlelight and Blood Feud close the list given here. The titles alone show Wylie's range: bright images, sharp moods, and songs that catch at passing things.
