The Picardy Poems Comments

The Picardy Poems should be put in every anthology of war poetry - they leave the reader almost 'fear stained' so exquisitely painful was the reading of these horrors. Dedicated to the few who survived and are still alive is another reason to have this read in schools and public places - - the poet's mind did not die with the W.W.1 Poets - - such poetry as this asserts the fact that we still have excellence in poetry today - - thank you for this Tony.

Poignant and powerful, the spotlight on the political stupidity and the waste. You place us in the trench with the victims; Fortunately we can climb out unscathed. As always, extremely moving, Tony.
