Words of WWI is a student- run project that came together at the University of Glasgow during the centenary of the First World War (2014-2018).
In that time a team of dedicated poetry enthusiastsft sifted through thousands of poems to select 10 seldom-heard yet just as powerful poems from all sides embroiled on the Western Front.
Skilled film-makers then came on board to turn each poem into a gripping visual piece – with the help of professional actors from across Scotland – that exploits the intensive imagery and natural rhythm of the poems.
