註釋Unrivalled for its range and intensity, the poetry of World War 1 continues to have a powerful effect on readers. Harry Scott has published, 'Forgotten Poems and Sonnets from the Great War', an anthology of poems and sonnets written during World War 1, reflecting the voices of poets, soldiers, and the families they left behind.Countless poems were written by men in the trenches or members of their families, and others affected in some way by 'The Great War'. Not many, if any, were published in books, but a great number were published in local newspapers and periodicals, precious records written by people to remember events, or someone who was dear to them, and who might otherwise be forgotten.This anthology brings together the words of poets, soldiers and civilians affected by the War. The collection offers the reader diverse views, and records the early excitement and expressions of patriotism as the first volunteers marched off to the 'Front'. The poems also give voice to the bravery, friendship and loyalty of the men and women on the front line, and the heartbreak, disillusionment and regret, as the war progressed to its bloody conclusion.
