Poets Respond to War in an Anonymous 1967 Anthology
Barbara Cross reviews a diverse collection of 87 poets, ages six to seventy-one, each contributing one poem. The work, unified by revulsion toward war, shifts from sharp satire to despair as poets path through Vietnam era horrors, naming nations, leaders, and innocent victims while questioning language and meaning.
