Summary "New Poems by Sir Charles G. D. Roberts" is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century, specifically in the post-World War I era. This book showcases Roberts' exploration of themes such as nature, spirituality, and the human experience, reflecting a deep appreciation for the earth and a longing for connection amidst the tumult of contemporary life. The poems within this collection are varied in focus, presenting vivid imagery and emotional resonance. For instance, the opening poem, "To Shakespeare, in 1916," grapples with the grief and turmoil of war while also paying homage to the timeless legacy of the playwright. Other poems, like "The Unknown City" and "The Good Earth," celebrate the beauty of nature and the idea of finding peace and fulfillment in simplicity. In contrast, "Cambrai and Marne" evokes the stark realities of battle, infusing poignant imagery with a sense of national pride and resilience. Throughout the collection, Roberts' lyrical style and profound insights into life and death invite readers to ponder their own pathways and the deeper meanings of existence.
