   Extractions: Send it to a friend! Owen was an English poet whose work was characterised by his anger at the cruelty and waste of war, which he experienced during service on the Western Front. Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born 18 March 1893 in Oswestry, Shropshire. After school he became a teaching assistant and in 1913 went to France for two years to work as a language tutor. He began writing poetry as a teenager. In 1915 he returned to England to enlist in the army and was commissioned into the Manchester Regiment. After spending the remainder of the year training in England, he left for the western front early in January 1917. After experiencing heavy fighting, he was diagnosed with shellshock. He was evacuated to England and arrived at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh in June. There he met the poet Siegfried Sassoon, who already had a reputation as a poet and shared Owen's views. Sassoon agreed to look over Owen's poems, gave him encouragement and introduced him to literary figures such as Robert Graves.

   Extractions: Wilfred Owen was born in Oswestry, Shropshire and was educated at Birkenhead Institute and a technical college in Shrewsbury. Probably influenced by his deeply religious mother, he went on to work as a lay assistant to the vicar of Dunsden in 1913 and later that year left England to teach English in France. In 1915, he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles and served at the Somme that winter. Suffering from shell shock, he was sent to Craiglochhart Hospital, Edinburgh where he met and was encouraged by Siegfried Sassoon. Most of his best poetry was written and polished during his convalescence there. He returned to the front, having spurned the offer of a home-based training position, and was killed one week before the end of the war at the age of twenty-five, after having been awarded the Military Cross the previous month. His poetry, exemplified by Anthem for Doomed Youth , encapulates the futility and horror of war and his very name symbolises the sacrifice of innocence to its cause. Strange Meeting

From early youth he wrote poetry, much of it at first inspired by religion. He became increasingly disapproving of the role of the church in society, and sympathetic to the plight of the poor. In 1913, he went to France and taught English there until 1915. Owen made the difficult decision to enlist in the army and fight in World War I (1914-1918). He entered the war in January 1917 and fought as an officer in the Battle of the Somme but was hospitalized for shell shock that May. In the hospital he met Siegfried Sassoon , a poet and novelist whose grim antiwar works were in harmony with Owen's concerns. Under Sassoon's care and tutelage, Owen began producing the best work of his short career; his poems are suffused with the horror of battle, and yet finely structured and innovative. Owen's use of half-rhyme (pairing words which do not quite rhyme) gives his poetry a dissonant, disturbing quality that amplifies his themes. He died one year after returning to battle and one week before the war ended in 1918. Owen was awarded the Military Cross for serving in the war with distinction. Full recognition as a highly esteemed poet came after Owen's death.

   Extractions: And half the seed of Europe, one by one. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born on March 18, 1893. He was on the Continent teaching until he visited a hospital for the wounded and then decided, in September, 1915, to return to England and enlist. "I came out in order to help these boys directly by leading them as well as an officer can; indirectly, by watching their sufferings that I may speak of them as well as a pleader can. I have done the first" (October, 1918). Owen was injured in March 1917 and sent home; he was fit for duty in August, 1918, and returned to the front. November 4, just seven days before the Armistice, he was caught in a German machine gun attack and killed. He was twenty-five when he died.

Owen, Wilfred Owen, Wilfred (1893-1918), English poet, widely regarded as one of the finest war poets of modern times. Owen was born on March 18, 1893, near Oswestry, Shropshire, and grew up in Birkenhead and Shrewsbury. His earliest surviving poem dates from 1909-1910. Too poor to attend university without a scholarship, in 1911 he became lay assistant at Dunsden (near Reading) to a vicar who shared his family’s evangelical Anglican beliefs. His poetry during the period was obsessed with John Keats in both style and subject. That admiration would never entirely disappear. Imagining how he would feel in battle, Owen believed that the only thing sustaining him would be the language that “Keats and the rest of them wrote”. Owen was not alone in underestimating the scale of the conflict, but when its magnitude became apparent, he returned to England in September 1915 to enlist in the Artists’ Rifles. After a commission as a second lieutenant in the Manchester Regiment, he was posted to France in January 1917. His experiences during the following months—including three days spent trapped in a shell-hole under heavy bombardment in no-man’s-land—left him shell-shocked, and in June he arrived for treatment at Craiglockhart War Hospital, Edinburgh. There he met his fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon, who had been sent to Craiglockhart after publicly denouncing the military authorities for (so he alleged) prolonging the war. The effects of this new friendship on Owen’s poetry were immediate. As he told Sassoon in November 1917, “you have
