'Poems' Summary
Set against the backdrop of World War I and the Halifax Explosion, 'Poems by Duncan M. Matheson' is a collection of deeply moving and thought-provoking poems that explore the themes of war, tragedy, hope, and courage. Matheson, who witnessed firsthand the devastation of the Halifax Explosion as the principal of Alexander McKay School, deftly weaves his personal experiences into his writing, offering a poignant and unflinching account of the horrors of war and its aftermath. Despite the grim subject matter, Matheson's poems are imbued with a sense of hope and resilience, as he celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the power of poetry to heal and inspire.Book Details
