Summary "Poems by D. M. Matheson" is a poetry collection written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of poems that delve into themes of nature, motherhood, love, and the impact of war, specifically reflecting the experiences and sentiments during World War I. It showcases the beauty of the landscapes of Acadia as well as poignant reflections on loss and remembrance, indicating a deep connection with the author's personal and cultural heritage. The collection is rich with emotion and imagery, presenting a tapestry of the human experience ranging from the serene pleasures of the natural world to the somber realities of conflict. In poems like “Indian Summer” and “Mother Love,” Matheson captures the essence of the Cycles of life and the warmth of familial connections. Conversely, pieces such as “Courcellete” and “Vimy Ridge” provide a stark contrast, highlighting the bravery and sacrifices of soldiers.
