It Is Easy To Be Dead tells the story of war poet Charles Sorley's brief life through his work and music and songs from some of the greatest composers of the period. Born in Aberdeen, Sorley was studying in Germany when the First World War broke out and was briefly imprisoned as an enemy alien. He was one of the first to join the army in 1914. Killed in action a year later at the age of 20, his poems are among the most ambivalent, profound and moving war poetry ever written.

Charles Hamilton Sorley's poetic career was cut short when he was killed by a sniper's bullet in the Battle of Loos in 1915. He was 20 years old. Robert Graves called Sorley one of the three important poets killed in World War I. Although Sorley's war-related poems continue to appear in many anthologies, his collected poems have been unavailable for many decades. Sorley's nature poems about the Wiltshire landscape, and his thoughtful poems and letters, engaging him with classical and Biblical texts, Goethe, Ibsen, Jefferies, Masefield, Hardy and other writers, show a young poet of discernment and promise. Sorley's war poems are skeptical of the folly of war and refute the war fever of his era. This annotated edition was prepared to help today's reader navigate the cultural terrain of Britain during World War I. Footnotes include unfamiliar terms, place names, historic references, classical and Biblical allusions. Additional materials include biographical notes, an annotated checklist of critical reception of Sorley's writing, juvenilia, and selected letters.
