I especially like Mary Oliver whom you quoted here. <br /><br />Also, as I read the war poets you cited, what poems are being written about our current prolonged wars in the Persian Gulf region? I think they are tragic and quite different from WWI and WWII. We no longer have a call for citizens to come to our nations defense, but we turn our wars over to a separate class of paid warriors and contracted companies, while ordinary citizens carry on with shopping and other niceties. Still, there are scars of war that should be told, perhaps they are being told. I'll have to go looking to see what our new poets are saying.Charles Kinnairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651225996573989932noreply@blogger.com
