'Smile, Smile, Smile' Summary
Smile, Smile, Smile is a collection of poems by Wilfred Owen, one of the most famous poets of World War I. Owen's poems are known for their realism, compassion, and anger, and they offer a powerful indictment of the war and its effects on the soldiers who fought in it.
