I picked up this book as I had studied some of Wilfred Owen's poem back in high school. I loved the way they flowed and so I thought I would read a small collection. I was in love from the first page.

The way Owen is able to portray war and it's dark, ugly side is just so insightful. Owen served in WW1, a time where going off to war seemed romantic and adventures. Instead of writing about the adventure, Owen shared the ugly truth of it all; the fragility of life and the senseless loss of youth.

He brought voice, accents and emotions to each and every one of his poems. A stunning set of work
