New Poems

"New Poems by Sir Charles G. D. Roberts" is a compilation of poems created around the time after World War I, focusing on a variety of meaningful topics. The book explores how people connect to nature, their own feelings, and their search for something bigger than themselves while living in a world of uncertainty. The poems paint a picture of nature's beauty and the desire to stay grounded, like in "The Good Earth," but also don't shy away from the hard parts of war and survival, as shown in "Cambrai and Marne." The collection starts with "To Shakespeare, in 1916," which honors a great writer while dealing with the sadness and chaos of war. Roberts uses descriptive writing and thoughtful ideas about life and death to make readers think carefully about their own lives and what's important to them.
