Killed in battle in 1918, most of Owen's poetry was published posthumously. Owen, along with his mentor Siegfried Sassoon, departed from the wartime verse of earlier poets who celebrated the patriotic glories of conflict. Owen and Sassoon, instead, documented the terror, destruction, and horrors of modern warfare. This edition is published by the Gehenna Press, founded by Leonard Baskin in 1942. Thirteen Poems by Wilfred Owen marks the first collaboration between Baskin and Richard Warren of The Metcalf Printing and Publishing Company. Drawings by Ben Shahn complement this superbly produced edition Fine in Very Good + dust jacket.
