Monro founds The Chapbook
Poet involved
What happened
In 1919 Monro launched The Chapbook from the Poetry Bookshop in London, his third major periodical after The Poetry Review and Poetry and Drama. The miscellany ran, with interruptions and changes of format, into 1925 and tried to hold middle ground between modernist experiment and Georgian tradition. It was rarely a commercial success, but it carried some of his best editorial and poetic work of the postwar years.
Literary impact
The Chapbook let Monro test a broad definition of poetry that included song, children's rhyme, and contemporary verse side by side. Editing it kept him in print as a mediator when his own reputation as a poet was already being overshadowed by the shop.
