Strange Poetry: How I learned to write about the war

Research output: Contribution to journal › Special issue › peer-review

Abstract

This article addresses some of the ethical challenges in writing poetry about war. It suggests that using archival sources of the words of participants themselves addresses one of those challenges. Two projects involving the archives of war museums are described as examples in practice of writing poetry that honours conflict participants while raising questions about the conflicts themselves.
