Helen Thomas was widowed when her husband the war poet Edward Thomas was killed at the battle of Arras in 1917, and was left to bring up their three young children. On the centenary of the First World War Imagining Helen Thomas explores her loss, and the loss of all war widows, through poetry, prose and art. The book is one aspect of a wider project on war and widowhood by Rees-Jones and Hodes commissioned by the Ledbury Poetry Festival, which includes poetry, art, animation, performance, creative writing and education.
