Abstract
In 1926 Archibald MacLeish included in PART TWO, "Several Shadows of a Skull," of Streets in the Moon, one longer poem, "Einstein."1 Published separately three years later,2 Einstein has been included in every collection of MacLeish's poetry since.3 Twice it was gathered with other longer poems in a separate section; in the latest edition it is placed chronologically with the other poems of the 1920s. It has been anthologized in a few collections of American poetry.4 But it has not, to my knowledge, received extended critical attention. Nor has it been fully appreciated for what it is: both one of MacLeish's most distinguished longer poems and one of the most distin- guished longer American poems of this century.
