Description
Christopher Logue's War Music is a radical reimagining of Homer's Iliad, set in a modern language and style of verse. The poet's vision, though incomplete, is revealed in this collection, which gathers together fragments and drafts from his notebooks. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that confirms Logue's reputation as one of the great poets of our time. Logue's work on War Music spanned several decades, and the volumes he published between 1981 and the time of his death in 2011 represent a significant part of his masterpiece. This collection brings together the surviving fragments of his final volume, Big Men Falling a Long Way, alongside other poems and drafts, offering a unique insight into the poet's creative process. A testament to Logue's innovative spirit and enduring vision, War Music is a compelling and thought-provoking read that will appeal to fans of poetry and literature.
