Orrick Johns is a young American poet of exceedingly rich poetic promise, who first came into general prominence as the winner of the Lyric Year Contest, to which over one thousand poets contributed, with a humanistic poem, "Second Avenue."

The book falls into three divisions, slangy, insolent street ballads, country rhymes, poems of the city, and miscellaneous lyrics.--"The American Review of Reviews," Vol. 55
