Summary "Twenty" by Stella Benson is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century, specifically around the period of World War I. The book encapsulates various themes such as love, loss, beauty, and the struggles of existence, reflecting the emotional landscape of its time. Through lyrical and evocative language, Benson explores the complexities of human experience, creating a rich tapestry that resonates with readers. The poems within "Twenty" showcase Benson's ability to blend personal emotion with broader social commentary. From the haunting descriptions of yearning and nostalgia in pieces like "Christmas, 1917" and "The Secret Day" to the poignant reflections on war and personal dread seen in "True Promises" and "Five Smooth Stones," each poem serves as a snapshot of the human condition. The use of vivid imagery and introspective musings gives voice to both individual and collective struggles, making the collection a deeply relatable read that invites introspection on the joys and sorrows of life during a tumultuous era.
