Unfinished Poems and Fragments Short Biography Wilfred Owen was born the 18th of March 1893 in Oswestry (United Kingdom). He was the eldest of four children and brought up in the Anglican religion of the evangelical school. For an evangelical, man is saved not by the good he does; but by the faith he has in the redeeming power of Christ's sacrifice. Though he had rejected much of his belief by 1913, the influence of his education remains visible in his poems and in their themes: sacrifice, Biblical language, his description of Hell. He moved to Bordeaux (France) in 1913, as a teacher of English in the Berlitz School of Languages; one year later he was a private teacher in a prosperous family in the Pyrenees. He enlisted in the Artists' Rifles on 21st October 1915; there followed 14 months of training in England. He was drafted to France in 1917, the worst war winter. His total war experience will be rather short: four months, from which only five weeks in the line. On this is based all his war poetry. After battle experience, thoroughly shocked by horrors of war, he went to Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh. In August 1918, after his friend, the other great War Poet, Siegfried Sassoon, had been severely injured and sent back to England, Owen returned to France. War was still as horrid as before. The butchery was ended on 11th November 1918 at 11 o'clock. Seven days before Owen had been killed in one of the last vain battles of this war.

After the death of his grandfather in 1897 the family moved to Birkenhead (Merseyside). His education began at the Birkenhead Institute, and then continued at the Technical School in Shrewsbury when the family were forced to move there in 1906-7 when his father was appointed Assistant Superintendent for the Western Region of the railways. Already displaying a keen interest in the arts, Owen's earliest experiments in poetry began at the age of 17. After failing to attain entrance to the University of London, he spent a year as a lay assistant to the Revd. Herbert Wigan at Dunsden before leaving for Bordeaux, France, to teach at the Berlitz School of English. During the latter part of 1914 and early 1915 Owen became increasingly aware of the magnitude of the War and he returned to England in September 1915 to enlist in the Artists' Rifles a month later. He received his commission to the Manchester Regiment (5th Battalion) in June 1916, and spent the rest of the year training in England. 1917 in many ways was the pivotal year in his life, although it was to prove to be his penultimate. In January he was posted to France and saw his first action in which he and his men were forced to hold a flooded dug-out in no-man's land for fifty hours whilst under heavy bombardment. In March he was injured with concussion but returned to the front-line in April. In May he was caught in a shell-explosion and when his battalion was eventually relieved he was diagnosed as having shell-shock ('neurasthenia'). He was evacuated to England and on June 26th he arrived at

Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) Wilfred Owen became a famous World War One English poet whose work was characterised by his anger at the cruelty and waste of war: 'My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity.' Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born 18 March 1893 in Oswestry, Shropshire. After his school days he took a four-year course as a pupil-teacher. Then in 1913, he spent two years in France, as a language tutor. In 1915 Owen enlisted in the British army and was commissioned in the Manchester Regiment in June 1916. After spending the remainder of the year training in England, he left for the front. The experience of trench warfare brought him to rapid maturity and his poems written after August 1917 expose the brutality of war. In May he was caught in an explosion and was diagnosed with shellshock. He was evacuated to England and arrived at Craiglockhart War Hospital near Edinburgh in June. While there he met the poet Siegfried Sassoon, who already had a reputation as a poet and shared Owen's anti-war views. Sassoon agreed to look over Owen's poems, gave him encouragement and introduced him to such literary figures as his friend Robert Graves. After his release from hospital, these introductions enabled Owen to mix with such luminaries as H. G. Wells.

Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) Anthem for Doomed Youth What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? - Only the monstruous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires. What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds. Prev Next Back to the Wilfred Owen page. Home

Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918) O World of many worlds O World of many worlds, O life of lives, What centre hast thou? Where am I? O whither is it thy fierce onrush drives? Fight I, or drift; or stand; or fly? The loud machinery spins, points work in touch; Wheels whirl in systems, zone in zone. Myself having sometime moved with such, Would strike a centre of mine own. Lend hand, O Fate, for I am down, am lost! Fainting by violence of the Dance... Ah thanks, I stand - the floor is crossed, And I am where but few advance. I see men far below me where they swarm... (Haply above me - be it so! Does space to compass-points conform, And can we say a star stands high or low?) Not more complex the millions of the stars Than are the hearts of mortal brothers; As far remote as Neptune from small Mars Is one man's nature from another's. But all hold course unalterably fixed; They follow destinies foreplanned: I envy not these lives in their faith unmixed, I would not step with such a band. To be a meteor, fast, eccentric, lone, Lawless; in passage through all spheres

He served as a company commander in the Artist's Rifles during World War I and was killed in France on Nov. 4, 1918, one week before the armistice. Owen's poetic theme, the horror and pity of war, is set forth in strong verse that transfigured traditional meters and diction. Nine of these poems are the basis of the text of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem (1962). Although Owen had worked on poems while living in France between 1913 and 1918, he never published. While on sick leave from the front in a Scottish hospital, he met the poet Siegfried Sassoon , who encouraged him to publish in magazines. He did, but these efforts were cut short by his return to the front. Two years after his death Sassoon arranged for the publication of 24 poems (1920). See his collected poems (1931, 1963, and 1973); collected letters, ed. by his brother, Harold, and J. Bell (1967); biography by A. Orrmont (1972); study by G. M. White (1969).

Navigation Page Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen Wilfred Edward Salter Owen was born in Oswestry on March 18, 1893, the eldest of four children. Despite Owen's longing to go to public school and Oxford, he was educated at Birkenhead Institute and then the Technical School in Shrewsbury, owing to his family's lack of money to pay for a public school education. By the time he left school Owen was writing verse and dreaming of becoming a poet. At this time he was going through a period of devotion to Keats, although he thought Shelley a greater genius, and was also influenced by other nineteenth-century writers. Owen was also influenced by Ruskin's remark that a poet should know about the world as a whole; plants and stones, as well as people, which is reflected in Owen's interest in botany, geology and astronomy. He shared with his mother a simple evangelical faith, and developed a sense of mission which eventually found expression in his preaching against the war. Since University fees were out of the question Owen had to try for a scholarship. After a brief period as a pupil-teacher in 1911, Owen became an unpaid assistant to the vicar of Dunsden, near Reading, in return for tuition. He found the "Silence, the State, and the Stiffness" of life in the vicarage hard, and poetry became increasingly valuable to him. His first cousin, Leslie Gunston, lived nearby and he became Owen's literary confidant and his closest friend until 1917. They took to writing poems in competition with each other.

Send some poems to a friend - the love thought that counts! Poems for the People - Poems by the People Wilfred Owen English poet. Now considered as one of the finest English 'war poets', he remained relatively unknown until an edition of his poems was published in 1931 with a Memoir in by Edmund Blunden. Previously his poetry had been collected and published in 1920 by Owen's friend, the poet Siegfried Sassoon. Most of his work was produced between the years 1915 and 1918 and detailed his horrific experiences in the trenches during World War I. 'The Collected Poems' were published in 1963 and were chosen by the composer Britten for his 'War Requiem'. Other 'war poets' include Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon.
