How Poetry Presents War: An Anthology of War Poems Book

Very few poets have composed poems on the subject of war but some of the best poems ever written are on the same subject. Most of the war poems convey the sad emotion and they deal with the human atrocities. The poets like Mathew Arnold, Sir Walter Scott, William Butler Yeats, Robert Bridges, Joseph Rodman Drake, Grace Ellery Channing, and Julia Howe, and many others have given some of the best war poems to English Literature.

In this anthology we have included some of the best war poems written by both ancients and modern poets. According to their own times they have added to the war poetry, ever changing the diction, and the style but every poem proves that the material keeps on changing but art is unchangeable. Writing war poems is a difficult art and that is why there are only a few war poets in this vastly crowded world.
