"Wherever you hear people who know speak of American poets...
they assume that you take the genius and place of Edwin Arlington Robinson as granted....A man with something to say that has value and beauty.

The Porcupine: A Drama in Three ActsCloth, 12mo, $1.25Edwin Arlington Robinson's comedy "Van Zorn" proved him to be one of the most accomplished of the younger generation of American dramatists.
Of this play the `Boston Transcript' said, "It is an effective presentation of modern life in New York City, in which a poet shows his skill of playwrighting...he brings to the American drama to-day a thing it sadly lacks, and that is character." In manner and technique Mr.Robinson's new play, "The Porcupine", recalls some of the work of Ibsen.
Written adroitly and with the literary cleverness exhibited in "Van Zorn", it tells a story of a domestic entanglement in a dramatic fashion well calculated to hold the reader's attention.
"Contains all of the qualities that are said to be conspicuously lacking in American Drama." -- `N.Y.Evening Sun'.
