War Poets

The poetry that came fron the trenches during WW1 differed greatly from that that had been seen before. Many of the poets did not survive The Great War, and as such their poems came to symbolise the horrors they endured.


This section of poetryfeast.com is dedicated not only to the poets, but all of those that fell during both World Wars, and indeed as the result of any conflict.


We hope that these poems can show you both points of view towards war; from the early patriotism, through to the atrocities we cannot even begin to comprehend.
