One of Sassoon's earlier collections of poems. This book is particularly interesting as Sassoon begins a transition toward poetry unrelated to war. There are still war poems found here, but there is also an exploration of the coming of modern times and even Sassoon's look forward for himself. - Summary by KevinSCopyright Single Author Genre Art Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences World

    "Town is Drowning" by C. M. Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl presents a vivid exploration of a community grappling with the overwhelming forces of nature and the human condition. As the town faces an impending flood, the narrative delves into themes of survival, resilience, and the complexities of societal dynamics in the face of disaster. This story remains relevant today as it reflects on how communities respond to crises, the fragility of human existence, and the moral dilemmas that arise in desperate situations. Its enduring appeal lies in its thought-provoking examination of human nature when confronted with existential threats, making it a compelling listen for anyone interested in the intersection of society and adversity.
