Overtures Of War: Poems Of The First World War (1996) By Edmund Blunden
 
Blunden wrote more war verse than any other poet of the conflict and wrote more movingly than any other on the difficult and painful legacy of the war. He continued as a writer until his death in 1974, achieving a reputation beyond that of a war poet.
 
Edmund Charles Blunden CBE MC was an English poet, author, and critic. Like his friend Siegfried Sassoon, he wrote of his experiences in World War I in both verse and prose. For most of his career, Blunden was also a reviewer for English publications and an academic in Tokyo and later Hong Kong.
