Description:
Considered one of the great war poets, few of Owen's war poems were published during his lifetime, but poet Siegfried Sassoon arranged for the publication of some of Owen's poems after his death; they are studied and admired for their strong themes today. This site includes the poems (with background and commentary), a chronology of his life, a virtual tour with photographs of important places in his short life, and links to other Web resources.
