This chapter focuses on Simon Armitage’s Still (Armitage, Simon. 2016. Still: A Poetic Response to Photographs of the Somme Battlefield. Enitharmon Press.), an artistic project combining poems as foils for historical aerial and panoramic photographs, and commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the Great War in Great Britain. I suggest a reading of Still within the context of the 14–18 NOW national commemorative project. My core argument is that one needs to look at commemorative appropriations of space within the artistic forms of contemporary poetic and visual “re-memorializations” of the Great War so as to understand how the Western Front, nationally written into a “futility myth,” continues to haunt British national identity. Armitage’s Still will be discussed through the prisms of real-memory and memory-distance, in reference to Edmund Blunden’s, Wilfred Owen’s, and Henry Williamson’s mnemonic writings of war and space. Concurrently, the chapter will also address the ideological effectiveness of appropriating photographs of the spaces of the Western Front, images originally taken for strictly military purposes, for post-memory national commemorative/artistic aims.
