  Joyce Kilmer: TREES & OTHER POEMS

  "I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree; 
  A tree whose hungry mouth is presd against the sweet earth's flowing breast ...". 
  Almost all of us, including myself of course, have heard and enjoyed those famous words which begin Kilmer's poem, Trees. There is even a National Forest in the United States named in honor of this poem. Here is a recording of this poem along with other poems in the volume in which it was first published in 1914. Joyce Kilmer was an American writer and poet mainly remembered for this short poem but he was a prolific poet whose works celebrated the common beauty of the natural world as well as his Roman Catholic religious faith, Kilmer was also a journalist, literary critic, lecturer, and editor. While most of his works are largely unknown, a select few of his poems remain popular and are published frequently in anthologies. 
  At the time of his deployment to Europe during World War I (1914–1918), Kilmer was considered the leading American Roman Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, whom critics often compared to British contemporaries G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc . He enlisted in the New York National Guard and was deployed to France with the 69th Infantry Regiment (the famous "Fighting 69th") in 1917. He was killed by a sniper's bullet at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918 at the age of 31. He was married to Aline Murray, who later became a poet and author in her own right, with whom he had five children.

  An amazing true story of a young sailor during the American Revolution, for readers of all ages. 
  The Revolutionary War is raging, and 12-year-old Christopher Hawkins runs away to follow his dream of being a sailor and a patriot. During his first sea adventure, the British capture his ship. Quick-witted Christopher escapes at his first opportunity. 
  At 17, Christopher joins another American privateer ship but is soon captured by the British. This time, he is delivered to the notorious British ship HMS Jersey, the war's deadliest prison. Armed with only courage, cunning, and a sense of humor, Christopher Hawkins will face death unless he can escape from his British captors twice more. 
  This novel and tale of survival is adapted and expanded from author Becijos' great-great-great-great-grandfather's memoir. 
  EDITORIAL REVIEWS 
  CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS AND HIS DARING ESCAPES is a story of grit, determination, courage, and the indomitable will to survive. Jeanne Brownlee Becijos draws upon the experiences of her great-great-great-great grandfather to tell an absorbing tale about a young man's quest to fight for his country's freedom. Set in the latter half of the 18th century, Becijos's story brilliantly captures the prevailing mood of the ordinary folk of that era and crafts an immersive setting with realistic characters and a world that feels lived in.    
  Readers' Favorite, 5-star Review 
  This novelization is at turns harrowing and funny as its cycles of capture-and-escape gets twistier and ever-more surprising. 
  Publishers Weekly, BookLife Editor's Pick 
  The narrative is written in first person, paying homage to the original memoir it was inspired by; this diary-like format allows readers to truly experience the story as if it were happening to them.  Kirkus Reviews
