Question

Meaning of anti war poem​

Answer 1

Explanation:

I was an anti-war activist during the Vietnam War. An anti-war activist - someone actively opposing a particular war in this case - can also be called a peace activist. But unless they are expressly pacifist, pacifism can't be inferred from their opposition to a particular war.

I'm not opposed to all war/wars. I'm not a pacifist. But I was anti-war in respect of the Vietnam War, and I am anti-war in respect of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Like many, many other people.

"A volume of anti-war poetry", here, could refer very specifically to a volume of poetry written in opposition to the Vietnam War, for example. It could also be a volume of expressly pacifist poetry. It just seems more likely to me that it's the former.

Answer 2

An anti-war movement (also antiwar) is a social movement, usually in opposition to a particular nation's decision to start or carry on an armed conflict, unconditional of a maybe-existing just cause. The term can also refer to pacifism, which is the opposition to all use of military force during conflicts.
