Collected poems of Rupert Brooke

Reading The stranger’s child sent me back to my old copy of Rupert Brooke’s poems, which I bought as a teenager. Dying young is often a “good career move” and seems to have been in his case. The romantic figure of the handsome poet dying in his youth for his country strongly influenced how the poems were received. He is a minor poet, but some of the more famous poems still resonate. 180 pp.
