Wilfred Owen, an English poet and soldier, is renowned for his impactful war poetry from World War I. Influenced by mentor Siegfried Sassoon, his works illuminate the harsh realities of trench warfare and gas attacks, challenging the glorified perception of war. Some of his notable posthumously published poems are “Dulce et Decorum est,” “Anthem for Doomed Youth,” and “Futility.” Tragically, Owen’s career was cut short when he was killed in action just a week before the war’s end at the age of 25.
