Does the prospect of war with Iraq make you feel pensive?  Apprehensive?  Patriotic?  Whatever your state of mind you might appreciate reading poetry about war.   Members of the UWSP Library staff and the English Department have compiled an exhibit of war poems and images which is on display in the lobby of the Learning Resources Center.   Featured poets include Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), Wilfred Owen (1893-1918), Randall Jarrell (1914-1965), and Ho Thein.

The exhibit begins February 24.  Check it out!
