Description:Juxtaposing the high literary art of well-known modernists with wartime verse by working men and women, soldiers, and pacifists, Rendezvous with Death collects an unprecedented range of American poetic responses to the Great War.This masterfully assembled volume, arranged chronologically, reveals the poets' shifting, conflicting reactions to the war and highlights their efforts to shape U.S. policies and define American attitudes.

Alight with sorrow, grace, silliness, passion, wicked satire, and pride, works by IWW members, sock poets, soldiers' mothers, and protestors take their places next to those by Edith Wharton, Alan Seeger, Wallace Stevens, James Weldon Johnson, Amy Lowell, and Paul Laurence Dunbar.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
