«The War Poems» is Siegfried Sassoon's poetry collection, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (165 pages, in English).
This collection brings together poems written during the First World War, ordered according to the conflict's progress: from initial patriotism to the anger and desolation of the trenches. Sassoon combines classical metre with mordant irony to denounce the commanders and reflect the soldier's experience.
The cover reproduces the painting «The Strafing», by the artist Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson (1888-1946).
For those seeking a poetic testimony of the First World War and Sassoon's work.
