Owen and Sassoon
(2022)The Edinburgh Poems of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon
A collection of poems by Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon
Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, both suffering from shell shock, were sent to convalesce at Craicklockart hospital in Edinburgh in 1917. Owen, who referred to himself as the ‘poet’s poet’ was unpublished at the time. It’s the influence and encouragement of Sassoon during this period that shaped Owen’s work. Sassoon was also instrumental in publishing Owen’s work posthumously after the war.
