In "The Last of August," she muses on the passing of seasons, finding solace in the inevitability of change. Through her lyrical verses, she manages to convey a profound sense of both fragility and resilience.

Stuart's versatility shines through as she effortlessly switches from sonnets to free verse, showcasing her mastery over the written word. Each poem feels fresh and unique, creating a tapestry of emotions that resonates long after the last page. One of the standout poems in this collection is "To the Unknown Soldier." With profound empathy, Stuart immortalizes the sacrifice of countless lives lost in war. Through her elegant verse, she pays tribute to the unnamed hero, reminding us of the enduring impact of their sacrifice. In Poems, Muriel Stuart proves herself to be a poet of immense talent and wisdom. Her evocative language and keen observations invite the reader to reflect on their own experiences and find solace in the shared beauty of human existence.
