Abstract
Eight months before Frank Hogan met his fate in the Argonne Forest, his poem, "Fulfilled," was published in The New Republic, sharing a page with an essay by George Orwell. The literary legacy of World War I is extensive and the amount of poetry written by military personnel during active duty has been recognized, anthologized, and studied for decades. Within this larger context, "Fulfilled" was one of many but it was a better-than-most effort. Written in first person, Hogan's poem is a declaration of acceptance and peace spoken by one who has died young. The poem met with favorable reviews and was even given a public recitation at Princeton by respected English poet Alfred Noyes.
