Anthem for Doomed Youth
by Wilfred Owen
'Anthem for Doomed Youth' Summary
"Anthem for Doomed Youth" is a powerful and moving poem by Wilfred Owen, considered one of the greatest war poets of all time. Written during World War I and first published in 1917, the poem is a stark and unflinching portrayal of the horrors and futility of war, expressing the deep grief and anguish felt by those who have lost loved ones in conflict and the disillusionment and despair of the soldiers fighting in the trenches. Owen's use of vivid imagery, haunting language, and poignant verse captures the physical and emotional toll of war and the profound sense of loss and waste.Book Details
