I'm looking for some help finding a piece of prose. It was a long time ago so some of my descriptions may be incorrect but the poem was written about (two?) towers in a field of wheat/soya in a dystopian society. All I can clearly remember was part of the poem being written from within a canteen in one of the towers. I believe it was part of an anthology of prose (called Brave New World) that was part of the GCSE cirriculum, although we never studied that particular piece

DeimosRising posted:okay are you looking for a poem or a piece of prose? your post is extremely confusing in that regard. To be quite honest I am not entirely sure. It was in an anthology with work by Betjemin, Owen and Sassoon (amongst others) so I would have thought poetry, but I have a feeling it read more like a story without the rhythym I would attribute to poetry. I was kind of hedging my bets as my memory is very blurry and it's not helped that this has been bugging me for a few years now. The anthology in question was split into sections. Of which the war poetry was the section we studied and this other piece was in another section called Brave New World that contained material of a utopian/dystopian slant. (It would have been part of the GCSE syllabus in the year 2000, I think edexcel). I know it had Inexpensive Progress by Betjemin in that section. All I remember for certain about the piece was the towers in a field of some crop and there being a canteen, possibly with a PA system telling people what to think.
