Picture-Show is a collection of poems written by Siegfried Sassoon and first published in 1920. The poems explore the themes of war, love, nature, and the human condition. The title of the collection is a reference to the cinema, which was a popular form of entertainment at the time. The poems are written in a variety of styles, including free verse and traditional forms such as sonnets and ballads. Many of the poems are autobiographical, drawing on Sassoon's experiences as a soldier in World War I. The collection includes some of Sassoon's most famous poems, such as The General and Suicide in the Trenches. Overall, Picture-Show is a powerful and moving collection of poetry that captures the spirit of a generation that was forever changed by the horrors of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
