Naming of Parts is probably the best-known poem of the second world war and is now, incredibly, considered an appropriate subject for school examinations. It was first published in 1946 with Judging Distances and Unarmed Combat in Henry Reed's A Map of Verona. Movement of Bodies appeared in The Listener some years later. The final poem, Returning of Issue, was completed a short time ago.
