PoemsWilfred Owen, 1920OWEN, Wilfred (1893-1918) and Siegfried SASSOON (1886-1967), introduction. Poems. London: Chatto & Windus, 1920. First edition of one of the finest book of poems to emerge from the war period, in the rare dust jacket. Owen was killed in action at the age of 25, a week before the Armistice of 1918, having published only five poems. In his "Preface," the author states: "Above all, this book is not concerned with Poetry. / The subject of it is War, and the pity of War. / The Poetry is in the pity." Siegfried Sassoon, whom Owen had idolized, writes in his introduction to the volume: "in the last year of Owen's life he attained a clear vision of what he needed to say, and these poems survive him as his true and splendid testament." They include some of the best-known poems of the period, such as his "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce et Decorum est." Keynes B2.Octavo. Half-title, frontispiece. Publisher’s red cloth, paper spine label (small faded spot to spine); printed dust jacket (spine panel a bit toned with small chip below price, a little wear to extremities).
