My review-essay “Poetry and the War(s)” is published in the latest issue of American Literary History, vol. 31, no. 3, Fall, 2019, pp. 540-49, DOI: 10.1093/alh/ajz022. In it, I engage with three recent books of criticism on war poetry — American Poetry and the First World War by Tim Dayton, Cambridge University Press, 2018; News of War: Civilian Poetry 1936-1945 by Rachel Galvin, Oxford University Press, 2018; and A Shadow on Our Hearts: Soldier-Poetry, Morality, and the American War in Vietnam by Adam Gilbert, University of Massachusetts Press, 2018.
