About this book
Snowy sleigh tracks and dandelions in the gutters make a remembered street feel almost like a neighbour in Joyce Kilmer's verse. This 1917 collection finds subjects in ordinary surroundings: roofs, gardens, houses and a snowman shaped by children's hands. The title poem gives Main Street the power to recognise its friends, while the traffic of a city street becomes a burden. Poems about home connect affection and belonging with concrete details of shelter and family life.
Religious devotion also takes familiar objects as its starting point. Roses become sacred images, a blue garment prompts a prayer, and the Annunciation and Visitation receive the concentrated form of sonnets. Mary and the saints appear in poems that combine direct address with reflections on faith.
