1914 and Other Poems eBook Rupert Brooke
Brooke was a very fine poet, smoothly lyrical, romantic, enthusiastic, a skilled technician as well as an inspirited artist. This volume is perfectly lineated, although I can't say all the stanza breaks are correct, as I've nothing to compare it to onhand. It's also free, so if you enjoy poetry, especially formal poetry with at times a rich, Keatsian descriptive flair, then adding this slim but rich collection of poems by a handsome and patriotic English Georgian poet to your Kindle collection is a no-brainer.Product details

For any person with an interest in the varied works of Rupert Brook this book will be perfect. A great read.
Collection of minor poems
Brooke served in WWI and died of blood poisoning on a hospital ship headed to Gallipoli in April 1915.He was buried in an olive grove in Skyrous, Greece, where you will find a monument to him. This collection, approaching its centennial mark, remains valuable reading for anyone interested in the course of 20th- and 21st-century history when it is read in context with the other English WWI poets, authors, and historians, particularly WWI poets SIegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. Sassoon in particular brought to British readers the horrors of trench warfare; something Brooke's poems do as well. Brooke was bright, beautiful (poet W.B. Yeats called him "the handsomest man in England), and bisexual. With its reliance on arms manufacturers and jingoism to keep the war running (one million men died at the battle of the Somme in this war) WWI sowed the seeds of what Dwight Eisenhower called America's infamous "military-industrial" complex, which with big pharmaceuticals and big oil now run the world. Another powerful source about this period is Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy.
used it for a project back in high school good poems
Known for his war poems, Brooke had a good eye for normal life around him as well. Traditional style that flows without often seeming forced. First part seems more somber, lighter tone as you go.
Rupert Brooke was decidedly in the tradition of Tennyson, in temperament of A E Housman and the spirit of Kipling. These poems show a world that was washed away by the horrors of WW1 along with some of its most promising artists, one of whom was Brooke. So today's reader must approach these poems philosophically speaking in terms of pre-WW1 and enjoy the lyricism of the poems which are devoid of the cynicism of experience.
Brooke was a very fine poet, smoothly lyrical, romantic, enthusiastic, a skilled technician as well as an inspirited artist. This volume is perfectly lineated, although I can't say all the stanza breaks are correct, as I've nothing to compare it to onhand. It's also free, so if you enjoy poetry, especially formal poetry with at times a rich, Keatsian descriptive flair, then adding this slim but rich collection of poems by a handsome and patriotic English Georgian poet to your collection is a no-brainer.
