Isaac Rosenberg was an English poet and painter, known for his poignant works that reflect the experiences of World War I. He was born on November 25, 1890, in Bristol, England, to Jewish immigrant parents from Lithuania.

He was killed in action on April 1, 1918, in France. Rosenberg's major works include the poetry collection 'Collected Works' and notable poems such as 'Break of Day in the Trenches' and 'Dead Man's Dump.' His style is characterized by vivid imagery and a deep exploration of the human condition amidst the horrors of war. Rosenberg is regarded as one of the significant war poets of his time, and his contributions to both literature and art continue to be studied and appreciated.
