A collection of Bierce’s verse, ranging from sharp satire and comic portraits to more reflective poems. Human vanity, public behavior, mortality, and the uses of language recur throughout the volume.
The poems vary in length and tone, pairing formal patterns with abrupt turns of thought. Bierce’s taste for irony gives many pieces a pointed or unexpected conclusion.
