Nine of these poems are the basis of the text of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem (1962). Although Owen had worked on poems while living in France between 1913 and 1918, he never published.

Click here to find out more War Poet Wilfred Owen was a talented WW1 poet killed in action only seven days before the war ended The eldest son of a railway clerk, Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born in Oswestry (England) in 1893 and grew up in Birkenhead and Shrewsbury. An early interest in poetry was encouraged by his ambitious and possessive mother who was a devout evangelical Anglican (his father was disappointed that Wilfred did not seem likely to take up a trade), and he absorbed the works of Shakespeare and Romantic poets such as Keats, before starting to write poetry himself. When, in 1912, Wilfred failed to win a scholarship to London University he became an unpaid lay assistant in the parish of Dunsden near Reading. Sadly, he did not receive the tuition he had hoped would enable him to make a second attempt at winning a scholarship; and it wasn't long before he resigned his post and rejected his orthodox beliefs. In 1913 he travelled to Bordeaux and took a poorly paid job teaching English in the Berlitz School. This led to a private tutoring post in the Pyrenees, where he met the poet Laurent Tailhade who encouraged him to continue writing. When war was declared he was indecisive about returning to England because of the supposed dangers of crossing the Channel during wartime. However, he eventually made his way back in September 1915 and promptly enlisted in the Artists' Rifles, where he met Harold Monro, in whose Poetry Bookshop Wilfred spent many happy hours (he also took lodgings there); and some months after being comissioned in the Manchester Regiment, Wilfred was shipped over to France, where in early 1917 he joined the 2nd Manchesters on the Somme. Trench warfare affected Wilfred and his poetry profoundly.

Wilfred OwenThe Greatest of the Poets of the Great War DULCE ET DECORUM EST Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . . Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood

Owen was born and brought up chiefly in Shropshire, England. After failing to get into university, he worked for a vicar and then in France as an English teacher before enlisting at the beginning of World War I at the age of 21. Sponsor Message. Much of Owen's earliest poetry is in the homoerotic tradition that includes Shelley's "Adonais," Tennyson's In Memoriam , and A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad : poems that simultaneously celebrate and mourn the beauty of a dead young man. Owen tried initially to combine this tradition with the religiosity of his upbringing. In "The Time was Aeon," Jesus Christ is depicted as a beautiful, suffering boy. As he grew older, Owen cared less and less for organized religion. "Maundy Thursday" describes churchgoers kissing the cross during a service; the narrator kisses the hands of the boy who holds the cross. Ultimately, it was war poetry that was to give him a socially acceptable way to express his erotic feelings for other men.

Educated at the Birkenhead Institute and the Technical School in Shrewsbury in his childhood, Owen failed to gain entrance to the University of London, but spent a year as a lay assistant to Reverend Herbert Wigan in 1911 and went on to teach in France at the Berlitz School of English. In 1915 Owen enlisted in the Artists' Rifles group in support of World War I, and after training in England, was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Owen was wounded in combat in 1917 and evacuated to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh after being diagnosed with shell shock. There he met Siegfried Sassoon, who served as a mentor and introduced him to well-known literary figures like Robert Graves and H.G. Wells, and wrote many of his most important poems, including "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce et Decorum Est". Owen's poetry often graphically illustrated the physical landscapes which surrounded him and the human body in relation to those landscapes. Owen rejoined his regiment in June 1918 and was killed on November 4 of that year. The news reached his parents on November 11, the day of the Armistice. Owen's

BIOGRAPHY Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) was born in the Shropshire countryside of England and had begun writing verse before he matriculated at London University, where he was known as a quiet and contemplative student. After some years of teaching English in France, Owen returned to England and joined the army. He was wounded in 1917 and killed in action leading an attack a few days before the armistice was declared in 1918. Owen's poems, published only after his death, along with his letters from the front to his mother, are perhaps the most powerful and vivid accounts of the horror of war to emerge from the First World War.
