Mr. Noyes, who ranks high among contemporary poets' of every nation ality^ was bom and educated in England. The long poem, “Hitler at Judg ment”, which appeared in RedboOk magazine in May, 1941, created per haps more genra-al interest than any thing from his versatile pen in re cent years. Many of his poems deal with Amer lean subjects and to one of these— “The Avenue of Allies”—the latest ex-President Taft wrote an introduc tion in which he said the author was -‘one of the great poets of this gen eration,’ in his treatment of war and peace. Repeated Nazi bombardments of his home on the Isle of Wight brought Dr. Noyes, his wife, and their three children into temporary exile in Canada the latter part of the summer of 1940.
