The Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke gathers the lyric and war poetry of the English poet Rupert Brooke (1887–1915). Its poems move through youth, love, nature, England, and the early experience of the First World War. They are worth hearing for their musical, direct language and their portrait of a brief, vivid life.
