anthology theme statement


My anthology is going to be about soldiers. Soldiers are a good topic because the poems can take so many different tones and dictions. One more elevated and classical poem is called The Wound-Dresser by Walt Whitman. A eulugy by Mary Elizabeth Frye gives another sad perspective- Do Not stand At my Grave and Weep, other poems could be about bravery pride and courage. A song I could use is "Im Already There" by Lonestar about a family calling and being comforted by their soldier, or Carrie Underwood's this is just a dream.Young Soldier. "If you're Reading this"
