Star Song
'Star Song' Summary
Gladys Cromwell's 'Star Song' is a poignant collection of poems that bear witness to the devastating impact of World War I. The poems chronicle the emotional journey of a young woman, likely inspired by the poet's own experiences serving with the Red Cross in France. They explore the loss of innocence, the overwhelming grief for loved ones lost, and the enduring power of sisterhood amidst a world consumed by war. The poems are often characterized by their raw honesty, exploring the darkness of despair and the fragility of hope. 'Star Song' serves as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of a young poet, who, despite facing immense tragedy, found solace and strength in expressing her deepest emotions through verse.Book Details
