Poems
by Wilfred Owen
'Poems' Summary
Wilfred Owen's war poetry, written during his service in World War I, provides a harrowing and deeply personal account of the realities of trench warfare and the devastating impact of the conflict on soldiers. Through vivid imagery and unflinching honesty, Owen exposes the horrors of war, the physical and psychological suffering it inflicts, and the profound sense of loss and disillusionment it engenders. His poems serve as a powerful indictment of the war and a poignant tribute to the countless lives lost during the conflict.Book Details
