Show transcript
Poets have been writing about wars for hundreds of years. Sometimes poets sensationalise dying for your country as a form of propaganda. Poets who have first hand experience of combat often depict the brutal reality of war. Some of the poems in the Edexcel ‘Conflict’ anthology reflect on experiences of particular wars in history.
