post image

#poetrymonth Brooke died in WWI and left a small collection of poems , like most that die too soon , people wonder what he might have written.The leather Burns isn‘t as old as it looks , an Oxford edition from 1966. Burns died in 1796.The Byron is old , called the Pearl edition of his works , copyright of this edition, 1873 .

LeahBergen I like that Byron edition! 3y

Pickpick

The uneven nature of these poems is to be expected from a poet who died so young (27) but there are some gems. And had WWI not taken him, he might be remembered as one of the greats. Definitely worth reading, and some worth memorizing.

“And spectral dance, before the dawn,
A hundred Vicars down the lawn;”

Another poem from my new book. This is from the middle of Grantchester. Find the whole poem here: https://poetrysociety.org.uk/poems/the-old-vicarage-grantchester/

In honor of #Veteran'sDay I'm posting this awesome collection of five #novellas that explore the exquisite conjunction of love and death.

In particular the fifth novella entitled #TheGreatLover is a historical fiction about a #WWI #Poet loosely based on #WilfredOwen, #SiegfriedSassoon, #RupertBrooke and #A.G.West

So moving was this Novella that I chose to adapt this into a screenplay for an advanced screenwriting class at #IthacaCollege
