This compilation of poetry contains the most noted and celebrated
works of English poet Rupert Brooke. Distinguished from an early
age, Brooke excelled in school and in Cambridge University before
plunging into British literary society. An emotional breakdown
following a romantic breakup led him to depart the UK for
recuperation in the USA and Canada, where he would write
travelogues for a newspaper named The Westminster Gazette. Upon
departing North America, Brooke opted to take a long sea journey
across the Pacific. In the South Seas he enjoyed a relationship
with a Tahitian woman by the name of Taatamata. Prior to the
outbreak of World War I and his consequent military enlisting, the
handsome young literary had several other romances. Tragically,
Rupert Brooke lost his life as a soldier in World War I. He died at
the age of 27 in April 1915 from an infected mosquito bite during
the British Army's expedition to the Mediterranean, and was buried
on the Greek island of Skyros.
