An essential new collection of poetry from the First World War This indispensable anthology brings together the works of three major poets from the First World War. Ivor Gurney (1890-1937) was a classical music composer and poet who published two volumes of poems, Severn and Somme and War's Embers. Wilfred Owen's (1893- 1918) realistic poetry is remarkable for its details of war and combat. Isaac Rosenberg's (1890-1918) Poems from the Trenches is widely considered one of the finest examples of war poetry from the period. Carefully selected by Jon Stallworthy, a professor emeritus of English at the University of Oxford, these poems comprise a landmark publication that reflects the disparate experiences of war through the voices of the soldiers themselves.

Ivor Gurney (1890-1937), considered one of the finest World War I poets, now takes his rightful place alongside the greats of English poetry. His range is wide, including the First World War, in which he served as an infantry private; passionate celebration of his native Gloucestershire; and fears of the mental imbalance which led to his eventual confinement in a mental hospital. Out of these experiences, he created poetry that is entirely unique, vigorous, musical, and direct. This selection of over 150 of his best poems, has been compiled by the poet P.J. Kavanagh from his edition of the Collected Poems of Ivor Gurney. This reissued edition offers , a few corrected readings, as well as a useful Chronology and Introduction to Gurney's life by P. J. Kavanagh.

In September 1922, poet and composer Ivor Gurney (1890-1937), was certified insane and committed to a mental asylum, where he remained until his death. This text, begun in 1921 and completed in 1924, was the first of several volumes of poetry written in the City of London Mental Hospital. The central theme of this collection is moments of epiphany, and landscapes include his native shire, London, and the Western Front. Gurney arranged these poems into a unified volume, and the book offers insights into Gurney's illness, and his sanity, rooted in memory and a sense of England. It is published as part of Carcanet's Ivor Gurney programme.
