In VOICES IN WARTIME an array of poets offer their attempts at encapsulating these experiences in verse, with both amateur and professional practitioners of the art offering some thoughtful words on the subject. Their poetry is interspersed with commentary from people who have actual experience of going into battle, and those who have dedicated their lives to documenting the history of war; soldiers, journalists, and war historians all contribute. Some of the poets come from far flung corners of the globe, while others are from locations closer to home, making this an eclectic gathering of artists who have been moved to bring their sombre compositions into the public domain.
