| Summary | "Miscellany of Poetry" by William Kean Seymour is a collection of contemporary poems compiled in the early 20th century, specifically in the year 1919. This anthology features a diverse range of poetic voices and styles, showcasing works that have not previously appeared in book form, thereby providing a unique snapshot of the poetic landscape during that time. The collection encompasses themes such as love, war, nature, and the human experience, capturing the sentiments and artistic expressions reflecting the post-World War I era. The opening of the anthology sets the tone by presenting a prefatory note from the editor, who expresses gratitude to the contributors and acknowledges the variety of sources for the poems included. The contents list introduces a wide array of poets, including notable figures like Gilbert Keith Chesterton and Laurence Binyon. Each poem, as seen in the excerpts, ranges from contemplative musings on the beauty of nature to explorations of loss and longing, indicating a rich exploration of emotions and existential themes. The opening portion not only highlights the editor's intent to create a comprehensive anthology but also provides a taste of the diverse poetic styles and voices that readers will encounter throughout the collection.
