Description
Jon Stallworthy's War Poet is a collection of poems that reflect the impact of war on his life and the lives of those around him. His experiences during school days, shadowed by the Second World War and influenced by memories of a brother and friends killed in the First, are woven throughout his poetry.
Many of Stallworthy's most anthologized poems respond to wars that scarred the 20th century, including "No Ordinary Sunday," "A Letter from Berlin," and "The Nutcracker." A recent uncollected poem, which gives the book its title, sheds light on the dark aftermath of conflict.
This collection offers a unique perspective on the experience of war and its lasting impact. With poems that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, War Poet is a powerful exploration of the human cost of conflict.
