The Second World War has shaped the modern world more than any
other single event. This generous and haunting selection of
English-language and translated poems includes verse written by
servicemen who participated in the war - Keith Douglas, Alun Lewis,
Randall Jarrell - as well as by survivors and witnesses of the
Holocaust - Primo Levi, Nelly Sachs, Paul Celan - and civilians
across Europe and beyond. It features work by important women poets
- Elizabeth Bishop, H.D., Anna Akhmatova - exiles such as W. H.
Auden and Berthold Brecht, and writers reporting from London,
Paris, Warsaw, Moscow and New York, dealing with the terrifying
impact and legacy of the conflict. Presented with a historical
critical introduction and biographical notes, the result is a vital
lyric testimony to the tragic global theatre of the war.
