Summary:
Twenty poems from the First
World
War
are interpreted in
comics
form by twenty of today's leading cartoonists. As the Great
War
dragged on and its catastrophic death toll mounted, a new artistic movement found its feet in the United Kingdom. The Trench Poets, as they came to be called, were soldier-poets dispatching their verse from the front lines. Known for its rejection of
war
as a romantic or noble enterprise, and its plainspoken condemnation of the senseless bloodshed of
war
, Trench
Poetry
soon became one of the most significant literary moments of its decade. The marriage of
poetry
and
comics
is a deeply fruitful combination, as evidenced by this collection. In stark black and white, the words of the Trench Poets find dramatic expression and reinterpretation through the minds and pens of some of the greatest cartoonists working today. With editor Chris Duffy at the helm, this is a moving and illuminating tribute to those who fought and died in
World
War
I
. Contributors include Eddie Campbell, Kevin Huizenga, George Pratt, and many others.
