'War Photographer', by Carole Satyamurti

'Their caption read
'Even in hell the human spirit
triumphs over all.''

In 'War Photographer' (not to be confused with Carol Ann Duffy's poem of the same title, for which we also provide a lesson plan), Carole Satyamurti cleverly describes the more telling moment just after an apparently touching photo has been taken.

Our simple lesson plan asks some important questions to help students reach the heart of the poem.
