Exile and Other Poems by Richard Aldington
First published in 1923, Exile and Other Poems is an important, poignant collection from one of the foremost Imagist war poets. Penned after witnessing the horrors of the frontline during the First World War, Aldingtons brutal, honest verse lays bare unimaginable experiences.
This new edition, beautifully produced by Renard for Aldington's centenary, would be worth having just for the first-rate introduction and the detailed background notes which give a very clear summmary of his troubles-- John Greening * PN Review *
Richard Aldington (1892–1962) was an English writer and war poet associated with the Imagist movement, and his fifty-year writing career covered poetry, fiction, literary criticism and biography. Aldington joined up in 1916 and was sent to the front. Traumatised by his experiences, he sought an outlet in verse. Exile and Other Poems, first published in 1923, was his first substantial attempt to process the trauma of his experience in poetry, and stands as a monument in war poetry. Elizabeth Vandiver edited Richard Aldington’s Exile and Other Poems with Viven Whelpton. Viven Whelpton edited Richard Aldington’s Exile and Other Poems with Elizabeth Vandiver.
