    War Poems by US Vietnam Veteran,
    Curt Bennett

    War Trauma


    War drags men to the very edge
    Where they shut completely down
    All emotion, all caring, all feeling,
    Just to survive the experience.
    Impervious to pain, to suffering, to death,
    They blankly assimilate war’s horrors
    Then continue as wooden, human shells
    Who have experienced, too much death,
    Who have seen, too much destruction.
    Old men in young boys' bodies
    Who will never be quite the same.
    For they can never, ever,
    Come all the way back. Some don’t even try.
    Others topple over the edge, 
    To remain lost there…forever.

    The Wake Up


    As the endless war in Afghanistan drags on and on,
    Slowly emerging are tales of war atrocities by Americans,
    By men in combat whose job is to kill other human beings,
    And when they do, they tend to celebrate being alive,
    Celebrate the enemy they have just killed as now dead.
    The Indians of America would take “scal

    Derek Curtis-Bennett

    British barrister (1904–1956)

    Frederick Henry Derek Curtis-Bennett, QC (29 February 1904 – July 1956) was a British barrister who defended some of the most notorious characters in British legal history, but whose career was cut short by alcoholism. His father was Sir Henry Curtis-Bennett KC, whose biography he wrote with Roland Wild.

    Early life and career

    [edit]

    Curtis-Bennett was educated at Radley College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called to the bar in 1926 and specialised in criminal defence. He became Recorder of Guildford in 1942 and a King's Counsel the following year.[1] Among those that Curtis-Bennett defended were William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw), serial killer John Christie (1953), Sergeant Frederick Emmett-Dunne, atom spy Klaus Fuchs, and Burmese politician U Saw. Curtis-Bennett pursued the truth in the Christie case as his client admitted more and more murders, despite it being injurious to his defence.[2]

    Abstract

    As has long been known, though prevalent in everyday discourse across cultures, hyperbole fryst vatten a neglected figurative language in the linguistic and/or literary sphere. In this talk, we propose a semantic taxonomy of hyperbole in American and British modern war poetry showing how this taxonomy helps readers figure out the poet’s meaning on a deeper level via a variety of hyperboles. The main objectives are to (1) identify the elements of such a trope in the corpora, (2) approach a semantic taxonomy of hyperbolic elements, and (3) komma up with the true hidden messages and natur of the trope in accordance with the typology of the sema
