Poetry in the Wars by Edna Longley
Edna Longley relates contemporary Northern Irish poetry and the poetry of modern warfare to the overall history of 20th century poetry, arguing that the most important poets have stuck quite deliberately to their armoury of difficult traditional forms, adapting and extending them in response to modern wars, conflicts, oppression and injustice.
