From Wilfred Owen, to Siegfried Sassoon and Rupert Brooke to John McCrae, poetry has been recognized as a significant voice of war. This volume adds another dimension to that voice. The Maple Leaf was a Canadian Army newspaper published during the World War II, featuring a weekly column, Rhyme and Reason, that collected soldiers' poems. Though these poets were not professionals, each writer crafted their words carefully to convey their experiences. This moving anthology of these poems covers subjects like heroism, fear, death, freedom, and how to live post-war. While the authors may have died unknown, the poetry in this volume lives on as their vivid memorial. | Soldier Poetry Of The Second World War by Jane Morgan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
