 | This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (June 2023) |
War poetry is poetry on the topic of war. While the term is applied especially to works of the First World War,[1] the term can be applied to poetry about any war, including Homer's Iliad, from around the 8th century BC as well as poetry of the American Civil War, the Spanish Civil War, the Crimean War and other wars. War poets may be combatants or noncombatants.
