"The dialect poems are the result of a childhood spent at Rosedale Plantation, north Louisiana, and of later observations of negro characteristics in small towns, whereas California, in which state the writer has resided for the past six years, has proved a fount of inspiration.
The panorama of sea, sky, fog, cloud, islands, and mountas that enwraps San Francisco might well inspire a prose writer to poetic musings, which extended journeys, throughout the Gold State have emphasized in the case of the author, who tentatively presents Lyrics from Lotus Lands to the public."
