Links to WW2 poetry
"Never Such Innocence Again" is a site dedicated to the influence of the Great War on later writers.
Website of the Salamander Oasis Trust
The Peace Pledge Union, based in London, has some pages on "Twentieth Century Poetry & War"
The Modern American Poetry site has a background chapter on WW2, which includes a short summary of the war by Richard Overy
The Great War has a number of excellent poetry sites, but so far there are no comparable sites specifically related to the poetry of the Second World War. In the current absence of more general links, see the links to the major and minor British poets writing 1938-48 on my own Lives of the Poets page.
