An iconic Australian unleashes the raw emotion of the world's greatest war poetry. As a machine-gunner in the Korean War, the much-loved ABC television personality Peter Cundall experienced all the horror and brutality first-hand, the trench warfare leaving an indelible impression on his psyche and instilling in him a passionate abhorrence of war. This extraordinary recording of Peter reading the poetry emanating from 150 years of senseless violence is not an album of war poetry per se, but more specifically of anti-war poetry.

Featuring poems by Kenneth Slessor, Bruce Dawe, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Denise Levertov and others, with stunning music including Vaughn Williams' The Lark Ascending, Barber's Adagio and Australian works by Sculthorpe, Edwards and Schultz. Ultimately, Peter Cundall Reads War Poetry is a soundscape reflecting not just the pity and the horror of war, but the intensely personal experience of someone who lived through it and whose dearest, and sadly still unfulfilled, wish is that it never happen again.
