What the Bullet Sang
by Bret Harte
'What the Bullet Sang' Summary
The poems in this collection are written from the perspective of a bullet, which sings a haunting and mournful tune as it flies through the air. The bullet describes the horrors of war, the suffering it inflicts, and the senseless loss of life. Through the bullet's song, Harte critiques the political and social forces that lead to war, and he urges readers to question the glorification of violence.Book Details
