All the Way Home

Jane Clarke’s powerfully moving poems respond to the Auerbach family archive of World War I letters and photographs represented by the Mary Evans Picture Library. The sequence imagines the emotional landscape of war for a brother at the Front and his sister at home. These quietly lucid and subtle poems tell one story amongst many. Combining poetry and photographs, this moving book explores the experience and impact of war, creating both a memorial and a testimony to lives lost and maimed.
