Three Stories & Ten Poems

The three short stories in the collection are Up in Michigan Out of Season and My Old Man. They are all set in Europe and deal with themes such as love loss and the search for identity. The stories feature Hemingway''s trademark sparse direct prose style and focus on the experiences and emotions of the characters. The ten poems in the collection also reflect Hemingway''s early style with a focus on spare language and vivid imagery. They deal with themes such as nature love and the experience of war.
