Society of The Painted Window: Martin Feinstein

One of Cline's associates in The Society of the Painted Window was Martin Feinstein (1892-1931), the son of a New York tailor and his wife who had emigrated from Russia. He attended the College of William and Mary, and the University of Michigan.  He served in France for one year in World War I, and later joined the staff of The Menorah Journal.  His first book was In Memoriam and Other Poems, published by Thomas Selzer in November 1922.  The title poem won The Nation's poetry prize for 1922.  Feinstein's one novel, The Drums of Panic, appeared from Macy-Masius in August 1927. He contributed to The Midland, The Menorah Journal, and other magazines. Feinstein died in Brooklyn at the age of 39.
