Verse" by Various is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. This anthology features verses from the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) as previously published in "The Stars and Stripes," the official newspaper for American soldiers. The poems reflect the emotions, experiences, and sentiments of the soldiers who fought in the war, offering insights into the heartfelt, humorous, and poignant aspects of their lives on the front lines. The opening portion of "Yanks" introduces readers to both the foreword and the initial poems within the collection, setting the stage for the authentic voices of soldiers. The foreword expresses the sentimental and artistic spirit of the A.E.F., noting how many soldiers wrote poetry to cope with their experiences, from mundane daily life to the harrowing realities of combat. The poems that follow touch upon themes of longing, nostalgia, and the humor that arose from the chaos of war. For instance, "Just Thinkin’" reveals a soldier's introspection while waiting in the trenches, showcasing a blend of fear, memory, and yearning for home. Overall, the beginning of this anthology highlights the rich tapestry of emotions that characterized the soldier's experience during World War I, inviting readers to engage with the poignant reflections of those who served.
