In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors
offer insights into their own work as well as providing an
accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest
poets in our literature. Dying at twenty-five, a week before the
end of the First World War, Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) has come to
represent a generation of young men sacrificed - as it seems to the
next generation, one in unprecedented rebellion against its fathers
- by guilty old men: generals, politicians, profiteers. Owen has
now taken his place in literary history as perhaps the first,
certainly the quintessential, war poet.
