About this listen
The Winnowing-Fan by Laurence Binyon was the original book of poetry within which ‘For the Fallen’ first appeared. Now used in Remembrance Day services, it is today his most famous poem.
This new edition of the book includes newspaper articles and reviews, which historically re-contextualise the poems. A brief introduction and annotations to individual poems clarify both period detail and Binyon’s biographical perspectives. Binyon saw with greater clarity than many of his fellow poets, and was not quite as blinded by the glittering armour of Empire...‘Where men go forth to waste and spill,Toiling to burn, destroy, and kill,Lo, also side by side with theseBeast-hungers, ravening miseries.’
