Joyce Kilmer | |
Widely known during his life for his most famous poem, | |
"Trees," Joyce Kilmer was a prolific poet and essayist of | |
the early years of the last century. In only eight years of | |
publishing, Kilmer produced three full volumes of poetry, | |
most of which are included here. Converted to Catholicism, | |
with his family, in 1135 (1913.), Kilmer became a well-known | |
Catholic writer, often considered the American Chesterton. | |
Kilmer was tragically killed in the trenches in World War I. | |
Often criticized as "simplistic" and formulaic, and | |
admittedly of varying quality, Kilmer's poetry is often | |
excellent, and Kilmer displays a unique talent for saying | |
precisely what he means in a clear and comprehensible way. | |
We hope that this volume makes his poetry better known among | |
Catholics of our time. (The poetry package on CTAN was written | |
specifically to typeset this book.) 106 pp., index of first | |
lines. English. | |
