WE WASN’T PALS ~ CANADIAN POETRY AND PROSE OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR (No. 27) ~ ED. BRUCE MEYER AND BARRY CALLAGHAN
Poetry/Prose 5.5x8.5 320 pages ISBN: 978-1-55096-315-1 (tpb)
2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the war...
For decades the literature of Canada’s experience in World War One lay ignored and was dismissed by readers, critics, and literary historians. Here, at last, is the imaginative testimony of those who served in the trenches and hospitals of the Great War. These pages chronicle the struggle to put into words the horrors, the insights, and the tribulations that ultimately shaped a nation’s character. In the voices of Frank Prewett, W. Redvers Dent, nurse Bertha Carveth, fighter pilot Hartley Munro Thomas, and other members of a generation that gave their lives and their souls to the war, this is the first anthology since 1918 of poetry, fiction, essays, songs, and illustrations that adds an important new chapter to Canada’s literature. Preface and Introduction by Bruce Meyer; Foreword by Barry Callaghan; Afterword by Margaret Atwood.
