Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936).  Poetry: A Magazine of Verse.  1912–22.
 
Conservatism
By Evelyn Scott
 
From “Tropical Life”

THE TURKEYS,
Like hoop-skirted old ladies
Out walking,
Display their solemn propriety.
 
A terrible force,        5
Hungry and destructive,
Emanates from their mistily blinking eyes.
