The fifth Carcanet collection from the man behind Stand magazine and Northern House books explores displacement and growing older.

A companion to the Penguin book of World War 1 poetry, this anthology reflects how society itself was changed by war. It is divided thematically into the case for war, disillusion versus idealism, action versus stoicism and includes selections from the novels of war writers such as Robert Graves, Ernest Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, D.H. Lawrence, Erich Maria Remarque, Richard Aldington and in a section entitled close quarters, letters from, among others, Wilfred Owen.
