Poems

"Poems by Elinor Jenkins" is a collection of poetry from 1915 that looks at the big ideas of love, coping with loss, and how war changes everything. It shows feelings of sadness and pain about what was happening during World War I. The poems cover different topics, like remembering people who died, thinking about what it means to give something up, and not forgetting important events. Through descriptions of nature and human experiences, Jenkins shows the difficulties people faced both fighting in the war and living at home. The poet struggles with heavy sadness, memories of lost loved ones, and how war haunts and changes their world. The poems mix personal thoughts with the bigger picture of what was happening, and they speak to both personal feelings and the shared feelings of a society that is mourning and feeling pain.
