In The Children’s War, Beers explores wars both literal and figurative, moving from global conflict to violence in mythology, domestic violence, and the war of disease ravaging the body. These poems act as a survival guide, showing that hope exists in even the darkest of places and that poetry is key to our healing.

From there, the book opens out into an exploration of the war at home and the war within ourselves, exploring violence in mythology, domestic violence, and the wars that occur, sometimes, within our own bodies.These poems act as a survival guide, showing that hope exists even in the darkest of places and that perhaps poetry is the key to our healing.
