| Summary | "The Flag, and Other Poems, 1918" by Amy Redpath Roddick is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, reflecting themes of patriotism, nature, and human emotions. This anthology encapsulates Roddick's insights into the societal sentiments around her, likely influenced by the events and cultural changes post World War I. The poems navigate various topics, including the complexities of national identity, the beauty of nature, and the contemplation of peace amid turmoil. The collection features poems that portray a deep connection with Canada, expressing pride in its history and unity, particularly through the symbolism of the nation’s flag. Roddick explores heartfelt themes such as love, loss, and hope in the face of societal strife, as seen in pieces like "The Calm That Comes with Years" and "Perfect in Thy Promise." Other poems, like "Armageddon," touch on the moral implications of war while advocating for peace and understanding among nations. This rich tapestry of poetry delves into personal introspection and broader reflections on humanity, making it a poignant exploration of early 20th-century life and thought.
