Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a highly personal collection of poems written by a soldier during and just after the First World War. Like many of this era, the author's work is distinguished by its frank depiction of the brutality, attrition, and absurdity of warfare. The opening section, 'The Birds,' includes 'Birds' and 'A Dog's Death', possibly the author's most famous poem, while the following section, 'A Poet to His Muse,' offers a poignant meditation on the nature of inspiration, mortality, and the power of language. 'Air Raid over Suburb', from a later section, is a remarkable example of vivid, image-led, almost cinematic writing, which captures the surrealism of the home front during wartime. The final section, 'An Epilogue,' returns to the trenches, with 'The Landscape' and 'Another Hour,' both of which explore the destructive impact of war on the surrounding environment and human psychology. In this moving and important work from a lost generation of poets, the author inscribes his own unique perspective on the conflict, and offers us all profound insights into the trauma, absurdity, and heroism that it encompassed. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330154748_0
