These two poets are well known not only for their poetry books for
Children but also for the workshops they run in schools, libraries
and at festivals. So they are extremely well qualified to create
these poems about war for young readership.
*The School Librarian*
This contemporary collection provides a lyrical insight into the
poetry of war, most evident in some of Brian Moses' poems about the
First World War with their Larkin-esque evocation of lost youth and
misplaced optimism.
*The Guardian*
The range of everyday voices that inhabit poems makes the poetry
accessible which enables the young reader to grasp something of the
nature of these terrible events for themselves.
