====During World War One there were many great poets. One of those great poets is Wilfred Owen. He started his poetry at the age of 17 when he became passionate about it. He was wounded in combat in 1917 and went to Craiglockhart War Hospital after being diagnosed with shell shock. There he met another patient, poet Siegfried Sassoon, who served as a mentor and introduced him to well-known literary figures such as Robery Graves and H. G. Wells. It was at this time Owen wrote many of his most important poems, including "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce et Decorum Est". His poetry often graphically illustrated both the horrors of warfare, the physical landscapes which surrounded him, and the human body in relation to those landscapes.====
