5.0 out of 5 stars Wilfred Owen, 30 Jul 2002
This review is from: Wilfred Owen (Border Lines) (Hardcover)
As a student who is currently in year 13, my love of Wilfred Owen's poetry has been heightened by reading this book. The biography at the beginning of the book and the explainations of the poems helped me to understand the message Wilfred was desperate to convey. When I started the book, my imagination was captured straight away with the biography which gave me an insight into the life which I was desperate to learn more about. I found at times Wilfred Owen's poetry confusing and vastly complex, however with information and explainations of imagery and the various stanzas, I managed to grasp the feelings conveyed with little effort.
This book is one of the best books on Wilfred Owen I've ever read and I'd recommend it to anyone who wishes to know more about this amazing man.
