Published two years after Owen was killed in France a week before the Armistice, this first collection was introduced by his friend Siegfried Sassoon. It contains Owen’s fragmentary preface — “the Poetry is in the pity” — and poems including “Strange Meeting”, “Anthem for Doomed Youth”, “Dulce et Decorum Est”, “Mental Cases” and “The Sentry”.
