Synopsis: 'The Singing of the Scythe' focuses on poetry of the First World War, featuring the poetry we guarantee you won't have come across in this centenary year: concrete poems about the occupied city of Antwerp by Paul van Ostaijen, Punjabi folksongs composed by the women who were left behind when their men went to battle, passionate poems by Italian poet Clemente Rebora and Marina Tsvetaeva, and a series of poems by the contemporary Flemish poet Stefan Hertmans, dedicated to his Grandfather.
