'Poems' Summary
Published posthumously in 1921, 'Poems by Elinor Jenkins' is a poignant collection of verse exploring the impact of World War I. The poems, originally published in 1915, are enriched by the addition of 16 later works, providing a comprehensive view of Jenkins' evolving perspective on the war. Her verses, written in a direct and unpretentious style, often employ imagery and metaphors to convey the stark realities of battlefield life. Themes of sacrifice, loss, and the fragility of human existence permeate the collection. Some poems capture the youthful enthusiasm of soldiers heading into battle, while others delve into the profound grief and despair experienced by those left behind. Jenkins' work offers a deeply personal and moving account of the human cost of war, highlighting the lasting impact of conflict on individuals and society.Book Details
