Stories of Australian, Turkish and Irish men and women in these
poems show the intimate nature of war; not from the perspective of
victory but from the perspective of those caught up in war, who,
whichever side they were on, lost. -- Lisa Gorton
Both the English and Turkish languages face each other across the
pages as the men faced each other across narrow spaces between the
trenches. In translating impeccably Dr Rowlands poems into Turkish,
Professor M. Ali Çelikel has commendably conveyed the epic depth
and literary qualities embodied in the poems. -- Himmet Umunç
