The Wilfred Owen Association
The Wilfred Owen Association
Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) is widely recognised as one of the greatest voices of the First World War.
His self-appointed task was to speak for the men in his care, to show the 'Pity of War'. Owen's enduring and influential poetry is evidence of his bleak realism, his energy and indignation, his compassion and his great technical skill. The Wilfred Owen Association was formed in 1989 to commemorate Wilfred Owen's life and work.
The Wilfred Owen Association is run by volunteers and funded by its members.
Please show your support by signing up. Annual members receive the Association's Journal (published twice a year).
The Wilfred Owen Association is run by a committee of volunteers. Click below to find out more about our committee.
The Wilfred Owen Association is delighted to announce our newest patron, Samuel West.
Samuel West has played Owen on BBC Television as well as reading his work on Poetry Please.
