Since time immemorial war has inspired poets, firing their imaginations to produce some of the world's greatest verse. The poems included in this new compilation cover conflicts from every period of history -- from the wars of the ancients, through the Renaissance and the Middle Ages to the present day. The experiences and emotions they encompass are timeless: heroism, courage, stoicism, comaraderie, despair, understanding, empathy, joy. Including over 150 poems, this thought-provoking anthology is a fitting tribute to all those affected by war, past and present.

The first of its kind, this collection offers a constructive response to the question of holy war and Christian morality from an interdisciplinary perspective. By combining biblical, ethical, philosophical and theological insights, the contributors offer a composite image of divine redemption that promises to take the discussion to another level.

The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions.

For Martin Foroz, this volume reflects on the gallery of classic American and English poets whose voices have inspired him to develop a new voice of his own. Poe, Thomas, Pound, Eliot, Shelley, Yeats, Whitman, Ginsberg, Gray, Emerson...they have expanded his perceptions and concepts now that he is in his 50s. He has lived the narratives and the verse dramas arranged here in two parts. But for him, it does not matter whether he is depicting true life stories or has plotted the characters and events. It's more important, he argues, that the reader recreates the multiple meanings in every piece of the Louvre. He invites the reader to participate in meaning making rather than looking for a clear or cliché message.
