Wilfred Owen

1893-03-18 — 1918-11-04 · Oswestry

Wilfred Owen was a prominent English poet, best known for his powerful and unflinching poems about the realities of trench warfare during World War I. He is considered one of the leading poets of the war, whose work vividly depicted the suffering, horror, and futility of combat. His poems were largely published posthumously but have since become seminal texts in understanding the experience of soldiers in the Great War.
