Summary

"The New Joan, and Other Poems" by Katherine Hale is a compilation of early 20th-century poems made during World War I that touches on the blending roles of love, war, and new growth. "The New Joan" is about courage and the call to serve one’s country. The poems explore women's jobs, the sacrifices they make, and how they start over, with "The New Joan" introducing the idea of courage, and service. Other poems dive into harsh times like the realities of soldiers in the trenches as shown in "Christmas Song," while "The Mother" shows a mother's pain for her son at war. Hale uses great descriptions and deep emotion to connect love, loss, and hope, encouraging readers to find beauty and strength in life’s trials and the promise of new starts.
