War and the Pity of War Hardcover - 1998
by Michael McCurdy (Illustrator); Neil Philip
Summary
This moving and thought-provoking anthology brings together more than 70 poems inspired by the horror and heroism of war. From the eleventh century B.C. to the present day, including translations from Chinese, Latin, Greek, French, Russian, and Japanese, and ranging from poignant lamentation to sardonic humor, a wide selection of voices speak about every aspect of human conflict, exploring the universal themes that have moved poets throughout the ages. Illustrated with striking scratchboard drawings, the poems collected here reveal both the shifts in people's attitudes over time and the ways in which all wars are the same. Brief historical annotations are provided. Index of poets, index of titles and first lines.

Media reviews
The book makes vivid humankind's innate darkness and makes war painful again.
Kirkus Reviews with Pointers
Teens will be open to this somber anthology and to the questions the poems raise for each of us....The book design is spacious and powerful scratchboard drawings in black and white, some small, some full-page, show the humanity and the ruin of those who came back and those left "hanging on the old barbed wire." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
