A voice for the Afghanistan generation of our Armed Forces

Voices of the Poppies is a unique anthology of poetry written by, and dedicated to, Service men and women and their families.

The anthology reflects on the human price that is all too often paid during times of war.

The proceeds from the sale of Voices of the Poppies will be used to support the work of The Forces Literary Organisation Worldwide (FLOW for All), helping them to become a registered charity and provide counselling to those in need.

Voices of the Poppies has been strongly supported by FLOW's patron Dame Vera Lynn, the 92 year-old chart-topper who launched the Royal British Legion's 2009 Poppy Appeal.

FLOW for All are currently planning the launch of their new books. Stories of the Poppies and Poems of the Poppies feature the winning entries in the 2009 FLOW for All short story and poetry competitions.
