Wilfred Owen is actually one of my favourite poets. I've got his book on my shelf and it was the only poetry I enjoyed learning at school. I really felt his emotion and the realism in his writing, compared to other poets.
I only discovered Wilfred Owen last year, which is such a shame. The US education system is quite lacking, but that's a story for another day. I've enjoyed what I've read by him.
@@Lokster71 Yes, I would absolutely agree. I was wondering if you are familiar with the book Muse of Fire: World War 1 as Seen Through the Lives of the Soldier Poets by Michael Korda? It was published in April of 2024, I think. I found it in my research yesterday.

Thanks Kiran. Honestly you're so good at actually watching and liking stuff.

I think World War One is culturally less significant for the USA than for the UK.

@@ariannefowler455 I know of it and I want to read it but it'll have to wait for either library or a gift before I get round to reading it.
