Description
Down in the Dugouts is the second collection of poems from William A. Roberts. Though war and the worst of human behaviour are recurring themes throughout the book, they are counterbalanced by optimism, nature, beauty, hope and humour. With the author's ability to convey depth of feeling in a surprisingly short amount of time, this anthology is a true tour of the human condition.
