"The bold, but what a beautiful and momentous idea to publish an "Anthology of Polish-American Poets" is the merit of the Polish Art Club in Chicago, whose ten years of activity in the field of propagation of Polish artistic culture in America is an exceptionally glorious page in the history of national consciousness on the Outback. [...] Suffice it to say that, in a certain form, this idea has been spelled into action and with a noiseless "I am" it makes its existence known. In the history of the latent and dramatic struggle of the Polish Emigration in the United States for the sacred right of moral self-determination, this booklet is an indescribably valuable and moving phenomenon. [...] The future historian of Polish poetry in America will find abundant material for a masterly study in the abundance of individual collections and in the great wealth of poems scattered through the pages of Polish periodicals in various parts of the States - and will undoubtedly stand amazed at the spiritual vitality of our Emigration enshrined in them.
