War Poet [US]:
William Butler Yeats had strong opinions about the poets of the First World War: Rupert Brooke, he said, was “the handsomest young man in England”; Wilfred Owen’s stuff was “all blood, dirt & sucked sugar stick.” It is interesting to imagine how he would have sized up Brian Turner, a thirty-eight-year-old former Army sergeant from Fresno, California, and the author of a book of poems about a year he spent deployed in Iraq. [...]Also, an interview and two poems.
