Summary

In "Trees, and Other Poems," Joyce Kilmer presents a collection that weaves together themes of nature, spirituality, and human emotion with lyrical elegance. Kilmer's verse is characterized by its clarity and musicality, often employing traditional forms that echo the pastoral and romantic traditions of poetry. His most famous poem, "Trees," embodies a deep reverence for nature, emphasizing the beauty and majesty of the natural world as an extension of divine creation. The work stands out as a quintessential example of early 20th-century American poetry, reflecting the cultural shifts of its time while remaining rooted in the timeless appreciation for nature's splendor. Joyce Kilmer, an accomplished poet and journalist, drew on his rich experiences as a Catholic and a New Jersey native, both of which informed his worldview. His engagement with nature is evident throughout his work, shaped by his personal belief in the intrinsic value of the natural landscape. Kilmer's untimely death in World War I lent a poignant resonance to his poems, infusing them with a sense of urgency and a call to cherish beauty amidst the chaos of human existence. Readers who seek a meditative exploration of the natural world and a celebration of life itself will find in Kilmer's "Trees, and Other Poems" an enduring classic that speaks to the heart of humanity. This collection invites reflection on our relationship with nature, urging us to recognize beauty in simplicity and the sacredness of all living things.

    THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
effectiveness. 
In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact.

    Bringing the Shovel Down maps the long and arduous process of being inculcated with the mythologies of state and power, the ramifications of that inculcation (largely, the loss of our humanity in the service of maintaining those mythologies), and finally, what it might mean, what it might provide us, if we were to transform those myths. The book, finally, has one underlying question: How might we better love one another?

    parsetreeforestfire is a bilingual book of poetry in which poems in Singlish occupy one side of the book, and poems in English on the other. Conventionally such a book functions as a way for a person to learn a new language, but it remains to be seen if translation has successfully occurred, or if the book even intends to teach any reader how to speak either language. Instead, if poetry is intense attention to language, then this book can be considered to be the product of such scrutiny on the languages the book is written in.
