Description
David Harsent's new collection of poems, Legion, presents a fragmented and intense portrayal of conflict. Through a series of disjointed images and laconic dispatches from the war zone, a narrative begins to take shape.
The formal mastery of the poetic sequence in Legion is reminiscent of Harsent's previous work, Marriage. The result is a distinguished collection that offers a powerful and unflinching account of the consequences of war.
