nijinsky's review
4.0
Owen has more strikingly memorable poems than Sassoon, and less bitterness (though Sass' influence is tangible in Apologia and Dulce, for example, and Owen's bitterness is knife-sharp). A consistent grief and longing permeates many of his poems. His juvenalia are charming and precocious! Knowles' introduction is a well-informed and compassionate set-up for Owen's work.
