"This work represents something of a journey through the author's own emotional response to the war and its aftermath, and it is patently clear she feels the same huge burden of loss that so many of us feel who have a passion for this period of our history. Her haunting poetry speaks to that lost generation, letting them know that they are not forgotten, that their sacrifice was not in vain, and that they will be remembered long after we ourselves are but memories." - Mark Marsay, Editor, The Great War "This book is a fascinating document, and I love the style of its writing, with the short prose passages interspersed with moving poems and photographs. It is unfair to single out individual pieces, as the whole collage of experience that makes up the book needs to be viewed as a single entity. Or should I say organism? For the book brings The House and the people to life so vividly." - Alison Chisholm, poet Diane lives in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, with her husband Mike. "I am delighted to have been asked to write this book," says Diane. She says much of her work has been influenced by The Great War following her first visit to Poperinge in 2000. Diane and her husband now spend two weeks a year as wardens at Talbot House, where she finds new inspiration on each visit. The Iron Harvest was launched in Talbot House in Poperinge, Belgium, on 2nd June 2005. Read about it here. £3.99 paperback ISBN 1-903914-20-5 |
