520 _a"Over Here" by Edgar A. Guest is a collection of patriotic poems written in the early 20th century, specifically during the time of World War I. This work captures the sentiments of American society during a period of upheaval, focusing on themes of sacrifice, duty, and the collective spirit of the nation as citizens rally to support their soldiers in the fight for freedom. Through its verses, the book pays tribute to the bravery of soldiers while simultaneously acknowledging the emotional burdens carried by their families at home. The opening of "Over Here" sets the stage for these reflections on war and patriotism, with an initial emphasis on the reverence for those who serve. The poems express a deep connection to the ideals represented by the American flag and the shared aspirations for liberty and justice. Various voices rise throughout the text to capture the feelings of mothers, fathers, and soldiers alike—highlighting themes of pride, sorrow, and the call to action as families endure the absence of their loved ones in service to their country. This introductory portion conveys a sense of unity and urgency as it beckons the reader to contemplate the costs and valor associated with war, embodying the spirit of the era.
