French Poems of the Great War

French Poems of the Great War. An anthology of the most significant French poems and poets of the First World War translated into English.
The varied and powerful body of French poetry of the First world war is comparable with that of English speaking writers, yet almost none of it is known outside of France. Now, with the sensitive and deeply considered translations by Ian Higgins this important gap in the cultural awareness of much of the English-speaking world may begin to be addressed.
