| Summary | "The Cornflower and Other Poems" by Jean Blewett is a collection of narrative and miscellaneous poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems often reflect themes of love, nature, and the intricacies of human relationships, capturing the essence of life in rural settings. Many pieces feature characters facing everyday life challenges and personal reflections, inviting readers into relatable scenarios filled with emotion and insight. The opening of this collection introduces a character who reflects on the arrival of a new school-teacher in a prairie farming community. As the narrator grapples with his mixed feelings about her presence—both admiration and annoyance—he reflects on his solitary life, the dynamics of community, and the challenges of change. Through a blend of humor and sincerity, the poem explores themes of responsibility, affection, and the transformative power of love, setting the stage for the poignant narratives that follow throughout the book.
