Feathers from a Moulting Muse and Boston literary notes
A review discusses Henry J. Sargent's volume Feathers from a Moulting Muse with praise for Walter Anonym's verses. It notes strong poems and clever puns, recalls juvenile satire and Horatian sourcing, and mentions the author’s sudden death and residual legatee. The piece also covers local Boston topics from ferry administration to hospital governance and a dramatic slave tale from the Pampero voyage.
