Wilfred Owen War Poet
Wilfred Owen is probably, together with Sassoon the most important English War Poet. Characteristic of his poetry, is the use of pararhyme, alliteration and assonance. The popularity of Owen today can be explained by his condemnation of the horrors of war, which remain so terribly actual, but also by his very premature and absurd death.
