The Top 10 Poets - Died in World War I: Wilfred Owen
The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives.
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy.

It is at first difficult to comprehend that the carnage and slaughter of War could yield some of our greatest poetry. Harder still that in four years of horror humanity was able to destroy and create on such a scale. These 10 poets and their verses speak for everyone.
