Poems. First edition of the author's collected works, including all his Great War poetry and his only play, "Moses". This posthumously published anthology was preceded by three pamphlets that were published prior to his death at the front. Poems is reputed to have had a short print run of only 500 copies."Rosenberg's poems from the front show him to have absorbed the great tradition of English pastoral poetry, but his tone is different: more impersonal, informal, ironic, and lacking the indignation characteristic of the work of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon" (ODNB).
