Preferred term

Wilfred Owen  

Definition

  • One of the most powerful anti-war poets of the 20th century, Wilfred Owen was born in Oswestry, North Shropshire, close to the Welsh border in England. He worked briefly for the Anglican Church in Dunsden, Oxfordshire, but the appalling rural poverty he encountered provoked an emotional breakdown that sent him home. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Owen, Wilfred (1893–1918)]
