Our awareness of the terror, loneliness and desperate hope endured by the men who fought this war we owe to the quality of the art that came out of it, not least the poetry. Despite the passage of time, its ability to move and inspire us remains undimmed, as this superb new compilation richly demonstrates. This collection showcases some of the best poetry to emerge from the conflict and stands as a worthy memorial to the collective talent and sacrifice of those who gave their lives.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 529gRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
