Summary "Poems of To-Day: an Anthology" is a collection of contemporary poetry compiled in the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. This anthology aims to showcase newer poetic voices and movements emerging as the influence of Victorian poets waned, offering themes relevant to the youth of the time and the overarching impact of the ongoing conflict. It covers a diverse range of subjects, including history, nature, and personal experiences, providing a snapshot of modern sentiment. At the start of the anthology, readers are introduced to a celebratory approach to the themes of time and existence through poems like "All That's Past" by Walter de la Mare. The opening verses reflect on the timeless beauty of nature and man's connection to his historical and natural heritage. Following this, Frances Cornford's "Pre-Existence" evokes a sense of nostalgia, contemplating life's cyclical nature, and the everyday landscape's beauty. Each poem sets the stage for a deeper exploration of life's transient moments, with varied styles and approaches to evoke the reader's emotions and thoughts on existence during a time of great uncertainty.
