Women and World War 1
"This book is not about heroes. English poetry is not yet fit to speak of them. / Nor is it about deeds, or lands, nor anything about glory, honour, might, majesty, dominion, or power, except War. / Above all I am not concerned with Poetry. / My subject is War, and the pity of War. / The Poetry is in the pity" (Owen 98).
This poignant quote, intended to be his preface to his collection of war poetry had he lived to see it published in that form. But, like too many soldiers of WWI and other wars, Wilfred Owen did not. Yet, he lives on in his ability to capture the pity.
Wilfred Owen volunteered to join the cause to fight for his country but he was also a blossoming poet. As he soon came to learn, war is not poetic in the sense he once thought. War is....
(words selected from Owen's own poetic words)
Sorrowful
Wailing
Monstrous
False smiles
Shattering
For the dead.
This book is for those considering the military or for those who want to glean a process for growing as a poet: capturing the emotion of a significant part of life.
It's also for those who want to feel even 10% as much pity as those who were in the war to end all wars.
