Product Description

Product Description

From the earliest times poets have spoken out against the horrors of war - many dying on the battlefields on which they wrote. This anthology gathers together poems against war - from an infamous last stand in Ancient Greece to the chemical warfare of the present-day Gulf. Featuring many of our most treasured poets - Wilfred Owen, Philip Larkin, Stevie Smith and Emily Dickinson among them - "101 Poems Against War" selects too from the poems being written across the barricades: the enemy soldier, a German widow, a young Vietnamese boy, and by contemporary Arabic poets. From the men who held their dying friends to the agony of the women left behind, this anthology gathers those moments of warning and protest from all corners of the earth: the times in which it was left to the poets to speak out against the true terror of war.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warn, warn and warn again, 29 Jun 2003
By Christian Spriet "Chacklee Chack" (Bruges, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Off and on, over here in Belgium, a debate has been going on whether "art can save the world". Wilfred Owen, last century's young genius of war poetry, claimed the best thing for an artist to strive for were the twin-messages of truth and pity. This valuable anthology has finally brought together poetic statements by poets from home and abroad and from all times. The selection of poems testifies to the shattering experience of war since prehistoric times and on till the "pre-emptive strikes" which the media would have us gulp down with no suspicion of a war going on.
It is much to the credit of the compilers that indeed they have collected from "across barricades", whether ideological or religious. Books as these we cannot do without, if only to rest aware and counteract the indifference.
Furthermore, it is to the credit of FF books that they continue to enable the poets to speak their minds much the same way as Owen did before.
