Excerpt from Poems From the Press: Patriotic, Descriptive, Sentimental and Humorous
Although a thought or a sentiment might very often be better expressed in prose than verse, still it is not so likely to catch and rivet the attention of a casual reader, and many quotations now Familiar in our mouth as household words, would probably never have attained their present popularity had they been embodied in a speech or newspaper paragraph.
As many of the poems in this volume have been read and met the approval of various people in high positions, well qualified to judge, I think no apology is needed for offering them to the general public, although the material may not have the culture or polish of the high-class magazine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems written primarily in the aftermath of the first World War. The author's experiences during the war deeply influenced the themes he explores in his book, which include the horrors of war, patriotism, and loss. Through eloquent and moving language, the author reflects on the strength of the human spirit. These poems provide a unique window into the social, political, and cultural landscape of the early 20th century. Historical events such as the sinking of the Lusitania, the Battle of the Somme, and the Easter Rising of 1916 provide the backdrop for many of these poems. They are not only a testament to the author's poetic ability, but also serve as a reminder of the immense sacriï ces made during times of war.
