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. Genre:  Comic books, strips, etc. Graphic non-fiction.
