A Shropshire Lad by A. E. Housman
3.0
Love them good Shropshire boyhood vibes but every poem is kinda the same
It's all like... 'there once was a lad from, idk, Buildwas. And boy he sure loved fields. And now, guess what? He's fucking buried under one' but in an ABAB rhyme scheme
Some stunning individual stanzas tho and some of the best examples I've read of storytelling poems that dont feel annoying
Underlined a few potential epigraphs for my novel lol
