Ballads of a Bohemian
'Ballads of a Bohemian' Summary
Ballads of a Bohemian presents a collection of poems narrated through the lens of Stephen Poore, a self-proclaimed bohemian living in Paris before and during World War I. The poems capture the vibrant and chaotic life of pre-war Paris, the brutal realities of the war, and its profound impact on Poore and those around him. Through vivid imagery and heartfelt emotions, Service explores themes of love, loss, art, music, and the search for meaning in a world shattered by conflict.Book Details
