Joyce Kilmer

By Joyce Kilmer and Robert Cortes Holliday

"Joyce Kilmer" Volume 2 is a poignant collection of prose, essays, and personal correspondence from one of the most celebrated American writers of the early 20th century. While best remembered for the enduring poem "Trees," Kilmer was a prolific journalist and man of letters whose work spanned a wide range of social, religious, and literary topics. This volume offers a deep exploration of his intellectual life and provides a more complete portrait of the artist beyond his famous verses.

The collection showcases Kilmer's mastery of the essay form, characterized by wit, spiritual conviction, and a keen observation of everyday life. As a prominent figure in the Catholic literary revival and a dedicated soldier who lost his life during World War I, Kilmer's writings reflect the values and tensions of an era in transition. Through his letters and prose, readers gain insight into his professional journey, his commitment to his craft, and the personal sacrifices he made on the battlefields of France. "Joyce Kilmer" serves as an essential tribute to the legacy of a soldier-poet whose voice continues to represent the courage and idealism of a generation.
