Compiled by Lettice D’Oyly Walters and introduced by the poet and bookseller Harold Monro, this small anthology gathers poems from the generation around the First World War. Monro’s introduction argues that the best poetry is about the earth itself and surveys poets such as Rupert Brooke, Lionel Johnson, Mary Coleridge and Edward Thomas.
