'Death could drop from the dark as easily as song - But song only
dropped, Like a blind man's dreams on the sand, By dangerous tides,
Like a girl's dark hair for she dreams no ruin lies there, Or her
kisses where a serpent hides' - from "Returning, We Hear the Larks'
Selected Poems & Letters". Isaac Rosenberg's poems, such as
"Dead Man's Dump" and "Break of Day in the Trenches", have been
included in every significant war anthology and have earned him a
place in Poets' Corner.He studied at the Slade School of Art at the
same time as Stanley Spencer and Mark Gertler, showing great
promise as a painter. His poverty, education and background made
him an outsider, yet it was just that experience which equipped him
to cope with the horror of war in the trenches: 'I am determined
that this war, with all its powers for devastation, shall not
master my poeting.' Inexplicably for such a major figure,
Rosenberg's work has been out of print for many years. In this
"Selected Poems and Letters", his biographer Jean Liddiard has made
a substantial selection of his finest poems and most revealing
letters, providing also an authoritative introduction and a
detailed chronology.
