Description

A conversation with Professor of English Connie Ruzich, PhD, and Jennifer Orth-Veillon, PhD, about overlooked voices in WWI poetry, hosted by WBT co-editor Adrian Bonenberger. The poems that were read and discussed are linked here:

John Allan Wyeth's "Transport" "Night Watch" and "Picnic: Harbonnières to Bayonvillers"
Rose Macaulay’s "Picnic, July 1917"
Joseph Seamon Cotter’s "Oh Little David, Play on Your Harp
Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s "I Sit and Sew"

And a link to Professor Ruzich’s recent publication. The anthology’s a vital resource for people and academics interested in reading a more diverse set of voices than are typically explored on university syllabi:
