Earth Voices Whispering: An Anthology of Irish War Poetry 1914-45

In the first half of the twentieth century, the men and women of Ireland experienced the brutal realities of a succession of wars - from the unrelenting casualties of the First World War, to the domestic upheavals of the 1916 Easter Rising and the Irish Civil War; from the romantic idealism of the Spanish Civil War, to the unimaginable horrors of the Second World War.Earth Voices Whispering gathers together, for the very first time, a wide range of poetic voices that chart the human experiences of these wars.
