LibriVox volunteers bring you 14 recordings of The Snowman in the
Yard by Joyce Kilmer. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for
February 26, 2012.Alfred Joyce Kilmer was an American journalist,
poet, literary critic, lecturer, and editor. Though a prolific poet
whose works celebrated the common beauty of the natural world as
well as his religious faith, Kilmer is remembered most for a short
poem titled "Trees" (1913), which was published in the collection
Trees and Other Poems in 1914.At the time of his deployment to
Europe during World War I (1914–1918), Kilmer was considered the
leading American Catholic poet and lecturer of his generation, whom
critics often compared to British contemporaries G. K. Chesterton
(1874–1936) and Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953). A sergeant in the 165th
U.S. Infantry Regiment (better known as 'The Fighting 69th), Kilmer
was killed at the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918 at the age of
31. (Summary from Wikipedia)
