"Out of the Flame" by Osbert Sitwell is a compilation of poems created in the early 1900s that blends art, existence, and community through a variety of poetic styles. Readers are guided through vibrant images and deep insights into nature, stories of old, and the complications of current times. The collection is split into two sections; the first unveils quirky, bright pieces displaying dance and mythological themes next to the beauty of the wild, while the second offers a more acute critique of society with witty poems. Sitwell's work glances over the strange parts of being human, the shallow nature of social rules, and how time keeps moving, pushing readers to think about what they've seen and the world they live in. By using detailed language and creative symbolism, Sitwell inspires a close investigation into life's quick instances and how art lasts even when the world is messy.
