Poems by Isaac Rosenberg

"Poems by Isaac Rosenberg" by Isaac Rosenberg is a compilation of poems from the early 1900s that reflects the emotional and physical experiences of World War I. The poems examine subjects like war, finding oneself, and what it means to be human, all while showing how life and death bump up against one another. Rosenberg, who was a soldier and a poet, uses intense language and sharp pictures to depict the terrible nature of war, and also introspectively explores the roots of his Jewish culture. The collection starts with a memoir that speaks to Rosenberg's journey as a poet and artist, drawing attention to the trials and dreams he endured, while providing background as to the personal and societal struggles that moulded his artistic style.
