This slim volume is a real treasure house of deeply felt poetic expression. Wilfred Owen died young in combat, but left behind enough verse to qualify him as one of the true great poets of the English language. Even some of his fragments (such as "All Sounds have Been as Music") are brilliant, and his command of rhyme, rhythm, and vocabulary is second-to-none. Outside of John Keats and Clark Ashton Smith, Owen is without a doubt one of my favorite poets, and this comprehensive collection, which includes useful biographical and chronological information, is a great place to get lost in his wonderful work.

Making a note that I skipped the intro and appendices so I can go back at a later date (it was taking me too long to read it already).

Would be 5 stars, but the juvenilia was a slog.

Never spent much time with the War Poets, but everybody knows that old lie "Dulce Et Decorum Est," right?
