Covered Wilfred Owen in some depth in Secondary School, although his poetry is quite depressing compared to say, Rupert Brooke, I was always fascinated with him due in part that I share the same surname with him.
- JoeSmithson 8y agoIt's common in British school to compare and contrast "The Soldier" with "Dulce et Decorum Est". Personally the poem which had the most impact on me was "Suicide in The Trenches"[0]. Hit me like a tonne of bricks aged about 14, I read it every Rememberence Day now.
