A Very Good copy. The Lariat was a monthly literary magazine founded in 1923 by writer and editor Ernest Hofer (1855-1934). Hofer signed as "Col. E. Hofer" as editor of the magazine. The Lariat included articles and features that promoted Hofer's ideals of what literature should be. Hofer did not support what he viewed as elitist modernism in literature from Eastern states and called instead for literature that was "individual" and exemplary of western, regional writing. Many of The Lariat's articles and features are anti-modernist and do not address darker themes like many modern pieces of literature did in the day. One of the magazine's aims was to reach a broader audience and include a wider selection of writers. Its last issue was published in 1929. Excerpt from "Quirts, Prods and Punches" printed on the inside of the front cover: "I am not a purist and have read nearly everything that has been in the market for fifty years, but I see no merit or value in Cytherea, Gargoyles and the thousands of like character that are spewed out over the clean souls of western Americans by the money-greed of the materialistic east. The page of The Lariat, every article, every line of poetry and prose should be an inspiration to the individual for better creative work, for development of a greater efficiency in the service of humanity, for a more complete self-realization of all the gifts, talents and abilities of the individualism." Contents as listed on front cover: "Hog-Tying Psycho-Analysts," "Jim Bridger, Frontiersman," "Dreiser's Criticism of Western Art," "The Blare of the Flamboyant," "The Bible as Literature," "American Poetry," "The Honeymoon," "Important Books Reviewed," "Is There an American Style?," "What Then Is Criticism?," "Exposure of Materialism," "Best Ten Novels in Fifty Years," "An American on Unclean Fiction," "Western Musical Review," "Minor and Near Great Poets," and "Star Flowers, by a Western Poet.".…
