Words From War
A collection of poetry about world conflicts throughout history, with biographies about the contributors, with a poem and foreword written by Joseph Coelho.
A powerful and moving collection of poems written by soldiers and civilians who have experienced different conflicts around the world and throughout history. Each poem is followed by a biography of the poet, detailing their relationship to conflict and the background of the war that is the subject of each poem.
Dating back as far as ancient conflicts like the Battle of Troy and taking the reader through to 21st century conflicts, this collection explores shifting tones of patriotism and disillusionment, ultimately finding hope in bleak times.
Words From War by Joseph Coelho delves deeply into the emotional landscape of conflict, offering readers a profound insight into the human condition amidst the chaos of war.
