It brings together poetry originally published in little magazines, labor journals, newspapers, and wartime anthologies.
Trade Review"Highly recommended." CHOICE "Instead of privileging the figure of the front-line and largely British soldier-poet, Van Wienen supplements the well-known canon of Robert Graves, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, and Siegfried Sassoon with lesser-known but nevertheless widely read American combatants, civilians, and women who wrote passionately on the events of World War I." -- Walter Kalaidjian, author of American Culture between the Wars: Revisionary Modernism and Postmodern Critique.
