Liberation Soldier Item Info
- Title:
- Liberation Soldier
- Description:
- Liberation Soldier is a collection of poetry from Joe Smythe, who works as a railway guard in Manchester, published by Commonword. His writings reflect themes of war, resistance, and what it means to use poetry to express these themes. Separated into four sections, Smythe’s poems use humor, style, and vivid imagery to explore the conflicts that were happening at home and abroad, from inner-city riots to apartheid in South Africa. Through his unconventional style and approach, his poems also reimagine themes of love, nature, and changing times.
