Main Street, and Other Poems

“Main Street, and Other Poems” is a collection of early 20th-century verse by Joyce Kilmer, best known for his poem “Trees.” This volume showcases Kilmer’s talent for accessible and evocative language, exploring themes of nature, faith, and the everyday beauty found in ordinary life. The poems reflect a sense of patriotism and spirituality, characteristic of the era in which they were written.

Containing both shorter lyrical pieces and longer narrative poems, “Main Street, and Other Poems” offers a diverse range of styles and subjects. Readers will find reflections on urban life, rural landscapes, and the emotional impact of World War I, in which Kilmer served and tragically lost his life. This collection is a valuable representation of early modern American poetry and a testament to Kilmer’s enduring legacy.
