From the blurb - " 'There is a new school of poets, a new term to reckon with, a new theory to comprehend, a new manner to notice, a new humor to enjoy. It is the Spectric school; composed, as far as the present publication goes, of a man, the cornerstone, and a woman, the keystone - Emanuel Morgan and Anne Knish.'.. In such terms as those the avant-garde press of the World War I era greeted the publication of Spectra, a book of poems by two writers theretofore unknown. .. For two such original writers as Morgan and Knish there was bound to be a respectful audience - even though the Spectrist theory expressed in their preface seemed cloudy and pretentious to some, even though certain of the poems had more than a touch of nonsense. Spectra was widely reviewed and widely discussed. Its authors - Emanuel Morgan, expatriate painter-turned-poet who had lately come home to his native Pittsburgh, and Anne Knish, tempestuous Hungarian beauty whose only previous work was a volume of poems in Russian - were soon writing further Spectric poems and critical articles for magazines and symposia; in which activity they were joined by a disciple, the briefless barrister Elijah Hay. But they remained figures of mystery, for no one who was anyone had ever seen them. So, for a time, discussion and speculation continued - in newspapers and magazines, in literary gatherings, and on the lecture platform. And a suspicion began to take shape. ..[This is], the first full- length account of America's most successful literary hoax. And for good measure, William Jay Smith adds briefer sketches of other poetical spoofs: 'Fern Gravel' and Oh Millersville!; the Australian 'Ern Malley'; and, perhaps richest of all, 'Earl Roppel', the bard of the rushing Catatonk, the first victim of whose bucolic lyrics was Witter Bynner himself. It is a wonderful story, not without significant overtones for those who seek them; but whether you seek them or not, it is a book you are bound to enjoy.
