Poets of the First World War

If you haven’t yet discovered Connie Ruzich’s weblog Behind their Lines, now is your chance!  Connie has a very different approach to the poets and poetry of the First World War, but I think we complement each other and Connie's posts are always very interesting indeed.   Here is the link to Connie’s weblog https://behindtheirlines.blogspot.com/

As you are probably aware, my project is an exhibition project and exhibitions are aimed at members of the general public.   The weblogs and Facebook pages are a spin-off which we decided to set up when we realised I was collecting a great deal of information.

Exhibition panels are sent by e-mail free of charge to anyone wishing to host an exhibition. Full list of panels available to date can be sent on request.
Exhibition at Blackpool Library, UK, 2014
