If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
Rupert Brooke’s “The Soldier” was originally published in @poetrymagazine 100 years ago this month!
In Anthem for Doomed Youth, a performance led by Linda Gates, Northwestern University theater students present the work of familiar WWI writers, such as Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, and Isaac Rosenberg, along with those less well-known, including Eleanor Farjeon, Muriel Stuart, and the nearly forgotten African American poets who both served and died in the war.
