Wilfed Owen

Wilfred Owen became popular as a poet because of his poetic creation " Anthem for Doomed Youth". He, in this poem, vehemently critisizes the war taking it as a "leading wat' for the youth to the grave. It is quite ironical and really a blunder of his fate that he too was killed in action in the battle field at a very early age. He was born in 1893 in Shropshire.In his childhood, his family moved to Birkenhead.He was the eldest of the family.He was an Angelican.During his school days , he was bright in his studies.He passed matriculation of the University of London.as the first career in his life, he worked as a teacher.In 1915 he was commissioned in the Manchester regiment.It was quite pathetic that Owen bade goodbye to his life at a very young age and was killed one week before the agreement for the ceasefire.

"My subject is war and the pity of war;The poetry is in the pity."

this is pathetic as well as ironic because the cruel war cost his life too.
