Levy, and David Widger "The Poems of Emma Lazarus, Volume 1" by Emma Lazarus is a collection of narrative, lyric, and dramatic poetry written during the late 19th century. This volume not only showcases her poetic talents but also provides insight into her life experiences and emotional depth, reflecting themes such as longing, grief, and identity. The works include notable pieces like "The New Colossus," which connects her to American culture and identity, and the elegiac "Sunrise," mourning the assassination of President James A. Garfield, establishing her as a significant voice in her time. The opening of this collection includes a biographical sketch that reveals the deeply introspective nature of Lazarus as a poet. It discusses her early influences, the profound melancholy that permeated her work, and how historical events shaped her poetry. The subsequent excerpt introduces the poem "Epochs," in which Lazarus explores phases of life through rich imagery and emotional resonance. The poem unfolds various stages, from the innocence of youth to the acceptance of life's trials and the pursuit of hope, capturing the essence of human existence and personal growth through both joy and sorrow.
