Thought-provoking and poignant, this collection of poems reflects the timeless nature of courage and barbarity in war. Poems by Carl Sandburg, Walt Whitman, and W.B. Yeats are joined with the work of current writers, like Margaret Atwood, and complement contributions from more ancient sources, such as Shakespeare and the Bible. A timely collection, full of raw emotion, that paints a vivid picture of war.
