Includes works from the poets killed in action, Rupert Brooke to Wilfred Owen, killed only seven days before the end. A mixture of atmospheres and evocations, from the brutal power of war, to wistful verses of homes and loved ones left behind. Contains colour plates of paintings and sketches by combatants and war artists. A moving and inspirational collection of words and images. First world war poetry has lost none of its poignancy, and this collection is particularly significant, containing, as it does, colour plates of paintings and sketches by first world war combatants and war artists. Brian Busby has selected works from the poets killed in action, starting with Rupert Brooke in 1915 and ending with the tragic loss of Wilfred Owen only seven days before the end of the conflict. The poems are a mixture of atmospheres and evocations, from the brutal power of war, to wistful verses about homes and loved ones left behind. They have the power to move their reader that is unlike any other written work in the English language.
