Fatal Spring

'Can you imagine, just try to imagine the numbers of good men who are going to be slaughtered this summer ...' Using a remarkable blend of dramatic techniques, this study of three English poets - who were also three courageous soldiers - gradually develops towards their historical and crucial meeting.
