Kilmer's work is characterized by its simplicity and clarity, encapsulating an admiration for the natural world and religious devotion. Born Alfred Joyce Kilmer in New Brunswick, New Jersey, he was a prolific poet of the early 20th century, and his writing evokes the lyrical and romantic spirit of the era. His poetry often explored themes of spirituality and nature's beauty, which resonated with a broad audience, enabling his work to maintain its popularity even a century later. Kilmer's literary style is considered traditional and was influenced by the British Romantic poets as well as by his own Catholic faith.
