Narrative Non-Fiction

So, this is me. Lily Allen. I am a mother, and I was a wife. I'm also a singer and a songwriter. I have loved and been let down. I've been stalked and assaulted. I am a success and a failure. I've been broken and full of hope. I am all these things and more. I'm telling my truth because when women share their stories, loudly and clearly and honestly, things begin to change for the better.

Before 1914, war literature celebrated glory and heroism, but the First World War shattered those romantic ideals. As mechanized conflict claimed thousands of lives daily, poets and artists alike captured the raw shift from patriotic fervor to deep despair. Edited by former army chaplain Dr James Bentley, this anthology pairs powerful wartime verse with evocative paintings created by contemporary artists. Featuring writers like John McCrae alongside artwork by Paul Nash and C.R.W. Nevinson, the volume contrasts trench suffering with the quiet grief of the home front. Setting written and visual records side by side, it stands as a moving tribute to those who served.
