Published in 1899, just a year before his death, War is Kind by Stephen Crane and reminds us of the grim image of war that made his fortune with its red coat of arms of ceremonies. . Unlike the book, this collection leaves the battlefield and explores the damage that war can do to people's hearts and minds. Sympathizing with the victims of war and seeking broken hope for the sake of war, Crane implicitly criticizes the image of a romantic hero and questions whether love can exist. ..
Poet's voice is one of the old, exhausted and dismayed souls. All the more intriguing when Crane died before his 30th birthday. His work is reminiscent of a mid-20th century beat poet with its powerful use of language and desolate setting. It is a poem at the forefront of the turn of the century. It reflects the passage of time and hints at a new century.
By : Stephen Crane (1871 - 1900)
