Benediction

Love is never still.

A literary biography exploring a war poet's struggle to reconcile trauma, conscience, and identity amid the aristocratic and bohemian worlds of 1910s London.

Poet Siegfried Sassoon survived the horrors of fighting in the First World War and was decorated for his bravery, but became a vocal critic of the government's continuation of the war when he returned from service. Adored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London's literary and stage world, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality.
