wilfred owen

i feel compelled to blog about this, after dissecting and disassembling Wilfred Owen's poems for two straight nights.

i must say his poetry has truly won me over, in ways a classroom and teacher never will. one must really read and understand his poems to truly appreciate how powerful and emotionally impactful his poems were/are. here we are, almost a hundred years since the poems were written, yet some of the ideas brought up are still as relevant as they were when first written.

it is scary how much emotion and anger can be packed into 40 lines of writing.

and ame's notes are extremely useful. i would really just give up and shred the book without those notes. thank goodness i know her
