A Few More Verses

"A Few More Verses" by Susan Coolidge is a compilation of poems from the late 1800s. The poems build upon her previus work "Verses" and showcase a diverse range of topics such as love, faith, loss, and the magnificence that is in everyday life. Both personal and widespread worldly experiences appear within the collection, mirroring the emotions and thoughts of that era. The beginning of the collection shows a variety of poems which explore deep emotional and spiritual awakenings. In "A Benediction", Coolidge expresses well-wishes for fulfillment and love, while touching on the troubles within human relationships and emotions. The poem "New Every Morning" pushes readers towards hope and renewal, and encourages embracing the promise of a new day. The opening of the collection creates a reflective tone as it reveres life's fleeting moments and sets the stage for a reflective journey through her verse.
