100 VISIONS OF WAR

Julien Vocance

Two earthen levees

Two networks of iron wire

Two civilisations

​

Julien Vocance chose haiku as the best form to write down his experience of life and death in the trenches of WWI, then sardonically named the sequence after the Edo woodblock print series produced by Hokusai and Hiroshige. The poems were published under a pseudonym in 1916 in the Grande Revue.
