"Friends" by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson is a collection of impactful poems originating from the World War I era, revealing the war's deep marks on individuals. It's about friendship, the pain of loss, and how conflict reshaped relationships and emotions. Gibson's expressive style portrays strong friendships and the sorrow of absence. He dedicates poems to those who died, painting pictures of longing and remembrance; Rupert Brooke and William Denis Browne are among those remembered. Exploring different poetic forms, the collection shows moments of peace at home as well as the hurtful reality of being apart and grieving. The heart of the verses highlights the beauty of friendship and love, but they don't shy away from the harsh reality of losses experienced during wartime, connecting readers to the deepest parts of living through the intense period of the early 1900s.
