This new selection brings together the poetry of three of the most distinctive & moving voices to emerge from the First World War Here are the controlled passion & rich metaphors of Wilfred Owen's celebrated verses such as ' Anthem for Doomed Youth' & ' Strange Meeting' along with many of his lesser-known works The elegiac poems of Ivor Gurney including ' Requiem' & ' The Silent One' reflect his love of language music & landscape while the visceral works of Isaac Rosenberg such as ' Break of Day in the Trenches' are filled with stark imagery but also as in ' Louse Hunting' with vitality & humour Each poet reflects the disparate experiences of ordinary soldiers in war & attempts to capture man's humanity in the most inhumane of circumstances
