Description
Simon Armitage has been commissioned to write a sequence of poems in response to 26 panoramic photographs of battlefields associated with the Battle of the Somme. These haunting images, taken over a hundred years ago, are paired with contemporary words that meld with their visual devastations.
The poems, written in response to The Georgics by Virgil, explore the devastation and loss of war through powerful and evocative language. This unique combination of old and new creates a striking effect, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring impact of conflict.
