Kipling’s 1919 collection gathers the verse he wrote in the years around the Great War: political poems such as “Ulster,” “The Covenant” and “The Declaration of London,” war pieces like “The Rowers” and “The Veterans,” and the tribute to working men in “Mary’s Son.” It opens with a dedication to the Seven Watchmen.
Kipling at his angriest and most grieving, for readers who want the war in verse beyond Owen and Sassoon. Download the free EPUB.
