World War One Poetry<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“While many of these poems do not address a particular war event, we\u2019ve listed them by year, along with a selection of historical markers, to contextualize the poems historically. You may notice that more poems in 1914 and 1915 extoll the old virtues of honor, duty, heroism, and glory, while many later poems after 1915 approach these lofty abstractions with far greater skepticism and moral subtlety, through realism and bitter irony. Though horrific depictions of battle in poetry date back to Homer\u2019s\u00a0Iliad<\/em>, the later poems of WWI mark a substantial shift in how we view war and sacrifice.<\/p>\n
