Sorrow of War: Poems

A collection of lyric and occasional longer poems composed during wartime that examines the grief and disruption of conflict through vivid battlefield and home-front imagery. The pieces juxtapose trench and battlefield scenes, wounded and dying soldiers, and urban streets with moments of nature, shifting between elegy, irony, and reflective lyric. Recurring concerns include mortality, the poet's vocation in wartime, memory and mourning, and the transformative forces of change. Short dramatic vignettes and meditative lyrics combine to chronicle loss, endurance, and altered identity, moving from immediate wartime experience toward broader reflections on beauty, faith, and renewal.
