From Homer and Virgil to Byron and Yeats, from Shelley and Whitman to Auden and Stevens, from ancient China's anonymous bards to Poland's Mickiewicz and Israel's Amichai, poets of all times, places, and sensibilities have been moved to write about war. Here are more than one hundred of their most memorable poems, ranging from Horace on the Battle of Actium and Heinrich Heine's "The Grenadiers" to Adrienne Rich's Vietnam-era "Newsreel." From Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon to Randall Jarrell and Stevie Smith, the poets represented here have encompassed the entire spectrum of feeling - pride, compassion, courage, anger, anguish, laughter.
