Barney's poem, which appears on pages 379-80, queries the usefulness of change for change's sake. NCB, as she was known by some of her friends, was characterized by Radclyffe Hall as "a kind of pioneer who would probably go down in history," for her forthright declarations as an early feminist writer. Barney, an American from Ohio, usually wrote in French but this poem was originally written in English as it appears here for the first time. Other notable writers and artists who appear in this issue are Gerhart Hauptmann, Marie Laurencin, Adolph Dehn, Dudley Poore, Maxwell Bodenheim, Conrad Aiken, Art Young, André Derain, Kenneth Burke, Djuna Barnes, and others.
