Here are the controlled passion and rich metaphors of Wilfred Owen's celebrated verses such as \u003cem\u003eAnthem for Doomed Youth\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eStrange Meeting\u003c\/em\u003e, along with many of his lesser-known works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegiac poems of Ivor Gurney, including \u003cem\u003eRequiem\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Silent One\u003c\/em\u003e, reflect his love of language, music and landscape, while the visceral works of Isaac Rosenberg, such as \u003cem\u003eBreak of Day in the Trenches\u003c\/em\u003e, are filled with stark imagery but also, as in \u003cem\u003eLouse Hunting\u003c\/em\u003e, with vitality and humour. Each poet reflects the disparate experiences of ordinary soldiers in war, and attempts to capture man's humanity in the most inhumane of circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47364968579308,"sku":"9780141182070","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6622683482238.jpg?v=1773021155","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/three-poets-of-the-first-world-war-by-ivor-gurney-9780141182070","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
