1 post | 1 read
An omnibus edition of Scars Upon my Heart: Women's Poetry and Verse of the First World War and Chaos of the Night: Women's Poetry and Verse of the Second World War. The voices of Sassoon and Owen on the male agony of the trenches are familiar ones but less commonly heard is what the wartime years meant for millions of British women - both at home, as evacuees or as nurses in the trenches abroad. This impressive, moving anthology records the devastating upheavals and terrible loss suffered.Includes poetry by Phyllis Shand Allfrey, Rose Macaulay, Naomi Mitchinson, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith, Sylvia Townsend Warner.

I like war poetry as much as the next person, but this collection is put together extremely well, and highlights the experience of a woman on the home front during WWI, in all aspects of life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #LitsyAtoZauthors @BookishMarginalia #readingforgrowthmmd #bookofpoetry #epicreadsmadlibs #bodypart @EpicReads
