Items related to Poetry Out of My Head and Heart
An astonishing discovery was made in 1995 during the British Library's removal from the British Museum. Thirty-four letters and eighteen draft poems, including Break of Day in the Trenches’, Dead Man's Dump’ and Returning, We Hear the Larks’ by the major First World War poet Isaac Rosenberg, were found in a bundle of papers stored by former museum keeper Laurence Binyon, himself a poet and Rosenberg's mentor. The newly discovered papers include all Rosenberg's complete letters and draft poems to Binyon and the poet Gordon Bottomley, together with material about Rosenberg from family, friends and mentors such as his sister Annie, Whitechapel librarian Morley Dainow, schoolteacher Winifreda Seaton, and patron Frank Emanuel. All are published here, most for the first time.

About the Author:
Isaac Rosenberg was born in Bristol in 1890 to Jewish immigrant parents from Lithuania. His family moved to the East End of London in 1897, and after a rudimentary education Rosenberg at 14 was apprenticed to an engraver. Wealthy patrons enabled him to study at the Slade School of Art (1911-14) at the same time as Stanley Spencer and Mark Gertler, and for nine months in 1914-15 he lived in South Africa. The only poems to be collected in his lifetime were self-published in a pamphlet form – Night and Day (1912), Youth (1915) and Moses (1916). Enlisting in the Army in October 1915 he served on the Western Front until his death on night patrol on 1 April 1918.
Review:
Rosenberg, who died in the trenches in 1918, was one of England's great World War I poets. During the British Library's 1995 removal from the British Museum, 34 letters and 18 draft poems were discovered in the mislaid files of former museum keeper Laurence Binyon, Rosenberg's mentor and a poet in his own right. Here, Liddiard (Isaac Rosenberg: Selected Poems and Letters) edits together these discoveries, which include the especially wonderful poems "Daughters of War" and "Dead Man's Dump," biographical materials, and Rosenberg's letters to Binyon, fellow poet Gordon Bottomley, and various family members and friends. There is also a brief biography and chronology. Readers can trace variations on and the development of Rosenberg's final poems, which appear in an appendix, in the letters. The poet's poignant, powerful, and heartbreaking work remains important reading. And as much of the writings Liddiard presents here have previously only been excerpted-most, never published at all-this text is an invaluable addition to Rosenberg and World War I studies. --Library Journal
