From Homer and Virgil to Byron and Yeats, from Shelley and Whitman to Auden and Stevens, from ancient China's anonymous bards to Poland's Mickiewicz and Israel's Amichai, poets of all times, places, and sensibilities have been moved to write about war. Here are more than one hundred of their most memorable poems, ranging from Horace on the Battle of Actium to Adrienne Rich's Vietnam-era "Newsreel." An extraordinary anthology.
Memorable and Moving
| Customer Rating:  | This anthology has something for every poetic taste. From the epic heroism of The Iliad , to the sorrowing irony of " After Blenham ", to the heart stopping horror of " The Death of The Ball Turret Gunner ". There are 115 poems witten by soldiers , poets , authors ; both famous and obscure. Thoughtfully edited in a way to ultimately frame a fine tribute to the soldier across the ages. An interest in military history could be helpful for the sake of context ,although the strength of the collection is not in the history , but in the humanity.
