Synopsis
This book is a collection of poems on an eclectic range of themes by a Yale professor of English, written between 1912 and 1933. As a professor and an active participant in the cultural life of his time, the author's vantage point allowed him to observe and reflect on the changing world around him. The poems in this book are a body of work that reflects upon the human condition, the beauty and cruelty of Nature, muses on History, and grapples with the complexities of modern life. The result is a book of poetry that speaks to both the universal human experience and the specific concerns of the early 20th-century America. There are poems on campus life, the local fauna, and travel experiences that reveal not just the author's keen power of observation, but also his lively wit. By turns profound and whimsical, these poems offer insights into the writer's own psyche, capturing the melancholy, awe, and gratitude he feels for the world around him.
