{"product_id":"9780752480367","title":"Deep Cry: Soldier-Poets Killed on the Western Front","description":"The lives, deaths, poetry, diaries and extracts from letters of sixty-six soldier-poets are brought together in this limited edition of Anne Powell’s unique anthology; a fitting commemoration for the centenary of the First World War. These poems are not simply the works of well-known names such as Wilfred Owen – though they are represented – they have been painstakingly collected from a multitude of sources, and the relative obscurity of some of the voices makes the message all the more moving. Moreover, all but five of these soldiers lie within forty-five miles of Arras. Their deaths are described here in chronological order, with an account of each man’s last battle. This in itself provides a revealing gradual change in the poetry from early naïve patriotism to despair about the human race and the bitterness of ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’.","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107615621360,"sku":"9780752480367","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780752480367_p0.jpg?v=1763639661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780752480367","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
