Abstract
Van Wienen's anthology of American Great War poems, the first of its kind, introduces the reader to a wide compendium of verse that may well influence the way early twentieth-century poetry is studied. He highlights lesser-known and civilian poets generally relegated to the margins of an arena filled with a few well-known names that dominate both the literary era and the canon. Daniel Hipp's The Poetry of Shell Shock: Wartime Trauma and Healing in Wilfred Owen, Ivor Gurney and Siegfried Sassoon is predominantly a retrospective glance at the scarred landscape of post WWI England and its poetic legacy. Hipp lays the foundation for what may be the last frontier in the British trench poets and their literary art. Hipp's book offers readers a thorough and compelling treatment of three of the Great War's most prolific poets and their therapeutic literary output.
