Question

A brief description of the historical background of the poem Small pain in my chest

Answer 1

Small Pain in My Chest’ by the American poet Michael Mack is a remarkable poem about a soldier’s death and the narrator’s feeling at his death. The title is an ironical one. The soldier repeatedly says that he has a small pain in his chest. But he finally died of his injury that he received at the battle. This poem reveals the anti-war attitude of the poet Michael Mack.
If you want more description then add the lines of world war which floods away a lot of lives and few lines from the poem explanation.
