This classic book is the complete poetical works of Rupert Brooke. Rupert Chawner Brooke (1887–1915) was English poet, most famous for his war poetry. A fantastic collection of moving and thought-provoking poetry, this volume is highly recommended for all lovers of the form, and constitutes a must-read for fans of war poetry. Poems include: “Second Best”, “Day That I Have Loved”, “Sleeping Out: Full Moon”, “In Examination”, “Pine-Trees and the Sky: Evening”, “Wagner”, “The Vision of the Archangles”, “Seaside”, “On the Death of Smet-Smet, the Hippopotamus-Goddess”, “The Song of the Pilgrims”, and more.

著者について

Keith Hale is author of the novels Clicking Beat on the Brink of Nada and Letters to a Shooting Star. He has edited an anthology of gay literature from antiquity through the First World War (Ode to Boy), a collection of Lord Byron's love poetry for boys (Edleston), a collection of Rupert Brooke's letters that had been sealed for eighty years due to their homosexual themes (Friends and Apostles), a collection of Georgian Poetry, and editions of poetry by Shakespeare, Housman, and Brooke. Hale wrote the first and perhaps only account of gay life in the Balkans before the walls of Communism crumbled in his travelogue In the Land of Alexander, and he explored how the military's ban on gays affected the life of one ROTC cadet in his book Torn Allegiances. Hale is a native of Mayflower, Arkansas, and also has made his home in Austin, Amsterdam, and Guam.
