Book Synopsis
Arranged chronologically, this title reveals American poets' shifting, conflicting reactions to the war and highlights their efforts to shape US policies and define American attitudes. 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.
