The Red Sweet Wine of Youth: the British First World War Poets Launched in London
Tomorrow night in London at King's College in The Strand I will be in conversation with Max Saunders, biographer of Ford Madox Ford, talking about my new book about the British poets of the First World War: The Red Sweet Wine of Youth (Little, Brown). This event takes place in The Anatomy Museum so bring your intellectual scalpels along at 6.30pm. It's free and there are refreshments. The book, just published, has already been reviewed favourably in The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal though I have to say, for the world of global finance, it doesn't have any special message that I can work out! See also this and this from Dermot Bolger. I am also very pleased to have been recommended by the War Poets blog of Tim Kendall, a leading British expert on war poetry and Professor of English at Exeter University.
