The War Poems
by Wilfred Owen
It's not often I find myself immersed in poetry, but this collection written by Wilfred Owen has left me dizzy with admiration toward his vivid imagery and general intellect. These poems don't hide anything about the tragedies and haunting realities of War; as Owen says himself, "My subject is War, and the pities of War. The poetry is in the pity.". His poetry differs on topics - some are written to point out the inhumanity of War, some are written to highlight the madness and mentality of everyday life on the Western Front - but no matter what, the poems are sure to affect you one way or another. It saddens me to think of the poet's death just days before the signing of the Armistice but perhaps it means that he's found an answer to the question posed with his poem 'The End'.
Dead or alive, this man has written a book of beautiful poetry, and I feel that it has made an indelible impression on me. I wish I could fully articulate my love for this outstanding collection, and the outstanding Wilfred Owen.
