Summary "Against This Age" by Maxwell Bodenheim is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This work encapsulates the poet's reflections on society, human emotions, and the existential struggles of modern life during a time characterized by significant social and cultural changes. The poetry within explores themes of existence, love, societal norms, and personal identity, presenting a candid appraisal of the human condition amidst the chaos of civilization. In "Against This Age," Bodenheim employs evocative language and rich imagery to convey a sense of disillusionment and yearning. The poems reflect a wide array of emotions as they traverse topics from the fragile innocence of childhood in "Baby" to the raw realities of urban life in "New York City." Notable pieces like "Nightmare and Something Delicate" and "Girl" delve into complex interactions between flesh and spirit, love, and societal expectations. Bodenheim's innovative style often merges personal experience with broader existential inquiries, urging readers to examine the inherent tension between aspiration and the harshness of reality, making this collection resonate with those grappling with their own place within the modern world.
