Par autoru
Joyce Kilmer (1886–1918) was an American poet, writer, and editor best remembered for his short poem 'Trees,' first published in 1913 in his collection 'Trees and Other Poems.' Kilmer's work is characterized by its simplicity and clarity, encapsulating an admiration for the natural world and religious devotion. Born Alfred Joyce Kilmer in New Brunswick, New Jersey, he was a prolific poet of the early 20th century, and his writing evokes the lyrical and romantic spirit of the era. His poetry often explored themes of spirituality and nature's beauty, which resonated with a broad audience, enabling his work to maintain its popularity even a century later. Kilmer's literary style is considered traditional and was influenced by the British Romantic poets as well as by his own Catholic faith. In addition to his poetry, Kilmer contributed essays and literary criticism to various periodicals, showcasing his versatility as a writer. Tragically, his promising literary career was cut short when he died in World War I at the age of 31. Although Kilmer's body of work is not extensive, 'Trees' has ensured him a lasting legacy in American poetry.
