Robert Graves, who first made his name as a war poet, gradually eliminated all the WW I poems from his Collected Poems. "Remembering War" lasted long enough for Jarrell to mention this in a review in the 1950s. But by 1965 it was gone. I'm not sure how many write well of their own wars. One of my professors, who has been a B-17 pilot, did mention once the last lines of "Eighth Air Force": Men wash their hands in blood as best they can, I find no fault with this just man.
