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.

    In Now You Care, her fifth collection of poetry, Di Brandt voices a passionate argument against environmental degradation and a plea for psychic transformation in our violent times. Tuned in to the toxic fallout of over-industrialization and war, these poems face the dark side of our postmodern climate with a language that doesn't give in. They tremble and shake,they rage against despair, they speak against death and wrestle with the fateful spirits of Armageddon to loosen their choke-hold on humanity. Perhaps we won't figure it out and the horizon is already on fire, and our best love will never be more than an approximation of regret, but grass still grows between the cement blocks of the sidewalk to 'grin of the wild.'
