Words from War: A collection of poetry about conflict Synopsis

A powerful and moving collection of poems written by soldiers and civilians who have experienced different conflicts around the world and throughout history, with a poem and foreword written by Joseph Coelho. Each poem is followed by a biography of the poet, and their relationship to conflict, as well as the background of the war that is the subject of each poem.

Dating back as far as ancient conflicts like the Battle of Troy and taking the reader through to 21st century conflicts, this collection explores shifting tones of patriotism and disillusionment, to finding hope in bleak times.

From Ancient Greece to modern day Ukraine, find out more about the most pivotal conflicts in our history through this moving poetry collection. Featuring timeless poems from Joseph CoelhoMichael RosenHomerAlfred Lord Tennyson, Paul Laurence DunbarNaomi Shihab Nye, Wilfred Owen, Gerrit Engelke, Pavel Friedmann, , Asha Lul Mohamud Yusuf, Amineh Abou Kerech, and Maria Docheva.
