--_The Philadelphia Public Ledger._ "The work of this poet always demands and receives unstinted admiration.... His is not the poetic fashion of the moment, but of all poetic time."--_The Chicago Herald._ "In 'Trails Sunward,' Mr. Rice demonstrates as heretofore the possibility of attaining poetic growth and originality even in the Twentieth Century, without extremism....
