Synopsis
Wilfred Owen participó en la Gran Guerra y murió en ella pocos días antes del armisticio. Este volumen que hoy presentamos recoge sus poemas más conocidos y que probablemente sean su contribución más importante a la poesía del siglo XX: sus poemas de la guerra. Escritos en un breve lapso de tiempo, entre el verano de 1917 y el otoño de 1918, los versos reflejan el impacto extraordinario de la guerra y el consecuente cambio que ésta ocasionó en la visión del mundo. La intensidad de las descripciones de Owen, no sólo de las heridas del cuerpo, sino fundamentalmente de las del alma, es realmente conmovedora, y transforma los poemas escritos en el campo de batalla en un bello alegato pacifista. Benjamin Britten insertó varios de estos poemas entre los textos litúrgicos que conforman una de sus mayores obras: el War Requiem. Una Misa de Difuntos que reconsagró en 1962 la derruida catedral de Coventry.
