| Summary | "Joyce Kilmer: Poems, Essays, and Letters in Two Volumes. Volume 2, Prose Works" is a collection of essays and letters written in the early 20th century. This volume captures the author’s reflections, insights, and experiences during a tumultuous period, particularly highlighting his experiences as a soldier in World War I. The essays delve into various themes, including the beauty of human connections, the significance of charity, and an exploration of literary figures, while also offering glimpses into Kilmer's personal beliefs and thoughts. The opening portion introduces a narrative from Kilmer's experiences as a soldier during winter in France, highlighting themes of camaraderie and the warmth of human interaction amidst the harshness of war. After a long day of hiking, a group of weary soldiers is welcomed into a modest French home, where they share a meal prepared by a widow and her children. The scene blossoms into a heartwarming account of interactions, songs, and the shared humanity between the soldiers and their hosts, symbolizing hope and connection even in darkest times. This sets a reflective tone that embodies Kilmer’s appreciation for simple joys and the dignity of individuals against the backdrop of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
