Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
Ideal for readers interested in contemporary poetry, war literature, and experimental narrative forms within the arts and culture genre.
The title-sequence of this new collection of poems offers a report from an unnamed war in which various images of conflict accrue without cohering, as if the reader is locked inside the crisis together with the protagonists.
Legion by David Harsent is a distinguished successor to his previous collection, Marriage.

Description
In a series of momentary and abruptly discontinuous images, laconic despatches from a warzone, a fictional testimony begins to take shape - an array of different voices giving witness to war and the consequences of war.
In its formal mastery of the poetic sequence, Legion is a distinguished successor to David Harsent's previous collection, Marriage.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Independent on Sunday called it 'surely one of the most exciting poetry collections to appear for some time, and his best book to date.'
