Davies, Mererid Puw, author. Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany: On Fire UCL Press 2023 1 online resource (254 p.) An examination of the largely forgotten anti-war writing from West Germany spurred by the Vietnam War.Though the Vietnam War did not directly involve West Germany, it was nonetheless a decisive catalyst for the era's wider protest movements in that country, and it gave rise to an ardent anti-war discourse. Poetry and poetic writing were key to anti-war work. Hundreds of poems and related writings about Vietnam circulated in West Germany, yet they are almost entirely forgotten today. Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany uncovers and explores some of that rich artistic production in order to present a new history of engaged poetic writing in West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s and to draw out distinctive characteristics of wider protest culture. In doing so, it makes the case for attending to marginal, non-canonical, or neglected literary and cultural forms, and for critical thinking about why they might, over time, have been obscured.
