The Collected Poems of Wilfred Owen by Wilfred Owen

4.0

Wilfred Owen is without a doubt one of my favourite poets. I’m always shocked and saddened to remember he only died aged 25, a week before the armistice. The vivid nature of his poetry in depicting the horror of the First World War is incredibly poignant. The use of sound in his rhyme and phrasing makes the deliverance of his poems very significant. I think ‘Futility’ and ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ are my two favourites.
