Critical Fable, A, humorous critical verse on contemporary poets by
Amy Lowell, published anonymously in 1922. The idea, the eccentric rhythms, and the ludicrous rhymes are patterned after James Russell Lowell's
Fable for Critics. An elder poet (presumably J.R. Lowell) and a contemporary poet (Amy Lowell) meet to discuss modern American poetry, displaying in their conversation some common sense, some humor, and some malice. Of the 21 authors mentioned, emphasis is given to Frost, Robinson, Sandburg, Lindsay, H.D., and Amy Lowell, while T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound are classified as “odds and ends.”
