Abstract: This comparative study examines depictions of war, loss, and resilience in Killed Piave—July 8, 1918, by Ernest Hemingway and Sen Yetim Emassan (You're Not an Orphan) by Gafur Gulyam. Both authors explore the far-reaching effects of warfare on the human psyche based on personal experiences on the battlefield. Hemingway's composition reflects the immediate, individual agony of a soldier undergoing a confrontation with death, while Gulyam's poem offers the collective hopefulness and solidarity stemming from national hardships. Through literary analysis, this article explores how each poet engenders resilience in light of loss and brings this to a fuller understanding of how humanity as a collective walks through and responds to war.
