Some of the most moving and beautiful poetry ever written has come from horror of the trenches of the first world war. Represented here in his selection of war poetry are those lines dashed off in the full awfulness of the battlefield as well as those more artfully crafted with hindsight. Includes contributions from Siegfried Sassoon, Laurence Binyon, Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Robert Frost, Edith Wharton, Harold Munro and many more. A handsome and moving volume.
