Hauntingly Powerful. War Poetry You Will Never Forget.

When we say "war poetry" today, the sort of writing that comes to mind is a that of Rupert Brookes Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and the other great writers of the first world war. It conjures up images of mud, wire and slaughter on a horrific scale but the nature of war has changed.

The best war poetry is exceptionally powerful and Myers taps into a vein of thought and emotion that is simply unforgettable. Extraordinarily haunting thought-provoking and authoritative he writes not only for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice but those they leave behind.

The Fallen was written for those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice so that we might embrace our freedom and the men and women who have served and survived. The poems written are reflections of conversations Myers had with those who have lost husbands, wives, lovers, brothers, sisters sons and daughters. Heart-rending, revealing and often surprising they relate to conflicts past and present. Perceptions change depending on our experiences and through the openness of those he had the privilege of speaking to he set out to write poems that portray the many facets and legacy of war.
