About this listen

Written in the trenches of World War I and often revised in moments of brief respite, these poems are raw, intimate, and unflinchingly honest. From the searing "Dulce et Decorum Est" to the mournful "Anthem for Doomed Youth," Owen gives voice to the silenced, the shattered, and the sacrificed.

This curated selection captures a young soldier-poet who wrote not to celebrate battle, but to expose its brutal cost — physically, emotionally, and morally. His verse speaks across time, resonating with readers today as much as it did a century ago, in an age still scarred by conflict and searching for meaning.
