It includes verse by renowned poets and writers such as Keith Douglas, Alun Lewis, Randall Jarrell and Primo Levi. There is also poetry by civilians and survivors in London, Warsaw, Moscow, New York, and by writers dealing with the terrifying legacy of the conflict and its dead for the living in the years after the war.
