War is Kind" is a collection of poems written by Stephen Crane, an American poet and novelist. The collection was first published in 1899. Stephen Crane (1871–1900) is best known for his novel "The Red Badge of Courage," which is considered a classic work on the American Civil War. The title poem of the collection, "War is Kind," is one of Crane's most famous works. It is characterized by its ironic and cynical tone, challenging traditional notions of heroism and glorification of war. The poem suggests that, despite the tragic and brutal nature of war, people often find ways to romanticize and idealize it. "War is Kind" reflects Crane's anti-romantic and anti-heroic stance on war, challenging prevailing sentiments about the glory of conflict and offering a more somber and critical perspective.

War is Kind, was unconventional for the time in that it was written in free verse without rhyme, meter, or even titles for individual works. They are typically short in length and although several poems, such as 'Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind', use stanzas and refrains, most do not. Crane also differed from his peers and poets of later generations in that his work contains allegory, dialectic and narrative situations.This excellent anthology contains nearly all of Crane's verse, including two complete books of poems: The Black Riders and Other Lines, which garnered immediate praise; and War Is Kind, ablaze with vivid imagery. Here, too, are rewarding selections from his uncollected poetic works. Thought by some critics to anticipate the Imagist movement of the twentieth century, Crane's poems are usually brief, cadenced, and rhymeless, rich in drama and symbolism, and spiritually penetrating.
