Book excerpt: During the Vietnam War Bao Ninh served with the Glorious 27th Youth Brigade. Of the five hundred men who went to war with the brigade in 1969, he is one of only ten who survived. The Sorrow of War is his autobiographical novel. Kien works in a unit that recovers soldiers' corpses. Revisiting the sites of battles raises emotional ghosts for him and the memory of war scenes are juxtaposed with dreams and remembrances of his childhood sweetheart. The Sorrow of War burns the tragedy of war in our minds.

Book excerpt: SORROW AND DISMAY is an illustrated meditation on the horror and stupidity of the Great War. The selected poems are by Siegfried Sassoon, a British officer. Sassoon documented trench warfare in poems soaked with pain. He confronted the reader with details of tedium and battle on the Western Front. He wrote with sarcasm on the motives of people in power and the absurdity of romantic views of war. He was masterful in capturing the language of soldiers and wartime trauma. The images in this book complement Sassoon's poems and are in sympathy with his anti-war views. This is a deluxe edition printed on acid-free, archival paper. Includes 44 war poems, 24 illustrations, Foreword, and Index of First Lines. Sassoon is one of sixteen WWI poets commemorated in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. KEYWORDS : World War I poetry; WWI poetry; First World War poetry; Great War poetry; Western Front; Siegfried Sassoon; British poet; anti-war poet; anti-war poetry; war poems; shell shock; trench warfare; wartime trauma; psychological impact of war. REVIEW QUOTES: "There is something in Mr. Sassoon's poems of war so stark and bitter -- This awfulness, these grotesquely horrid details are not what we -- care to imagine. -- There is no room for great hope -- in this 'hell where youth and laughter go.'" --The Guardian"Siegfried Sassoon is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems about World War I -- [he] wrote of the horror and brutality of trench warfare and contemptuously satirized generals, politicians, and churchmen. -- In 1957 he was awarded the Queen's Medal for Poetry." --Poetry Foundation

Book excerpt: A new book of poetry from internationally acclaimed, award-winning and bestselling author Margaret Atwood In Dearly, Margaret Atwood’s first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood’s fiction—including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others—she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.
