Description - To the War Poets by John Greening
In To the War Poets John Greening sends dispatches across the decades. In a sequence of verse letters he addresses the poets of the First World War directly, making connections yet always aware of distance: No larks, / just the passing of traffic. Greening explores Englishness, but also, in his translations from German poets, goes beyond it. From the discovery of the Sutton Hoo burial in 1939 to the security forces shut-down of Heathrow airport in 2006, the presence or threat of conflict underlies Greenings precise, unsentimental writing.
