Description
The Armistice of 1918 brought ceasefire to the war on the Western Front, but the Great War would not, as hoped, be 'the war to end all wars'. In this affecting selection, British Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, guides us deep into the act and root of armistice: its stoppage or 'stand' of arms, its search for truce and ceasefire.
In 100 poems, our most cherished poets of the Great War speak alongside those from other conflicts and cultures, so that we hear some of the lesser-heard voices of war, including wives, families, those left behind. These poems of war and peace memorialise the horror and the tragedy of conflict. At the same time, in armistice, they become a record of renewal and a testimony to hope.
