The poetry that emerged from the trenches of WWI is a remarkable
body of work, at once political manifesto and literary beacon for
the twentieth century. In this passionate recreation of the lives
of the greatest poets to come out of the conflict, Nicholas Murray
brilliantly reveals the men themselves as well as the struggle of
the artist to live fully and to bear witness in the annihilating
squalor of battle. Bringing into sharp focus the human detail of
each life, using journals, letters and literary archives, Murray
brings to life the men's indissoluble comradeship, their complex
sexual mores and their extraordinary courage. Poignant, vivid and
unfailingly intelligent, Nicholas Murray's study offers new and
finely tuned insight into the - often devastatingly brief - lives
of a remarkable generation of men.
