POETRY OF THE FIRST WORD WAR

The poem we all remember.


Owen is considered one of the greatest war poets, thanks in part to his moving poem Dulce et Decorum Est. The poem describes a gas attack in the trenches and pulsates with a sense of horror and outrage. It has been taught in schools for 50 years.
