Light and fluffy verses about unrequited love and beautiful nature and wandering lonely as a cloud are not really my cup of tea; in fact, I think the reason many of us males hate poetry is specifically because that kind of poetry turned us off in high school. Well, needless to say, this collection of poems is different.Really, this is poetry doing what it does best--moving the imagination and emotions to allow the reader to experience the feelings the poet wants to convey. What makes these poems powerful is the fact that they communicate the horrors, cost, and sacrifice of one of the most brutal wars in history. It's hard not to be changed by the gritty, realistic depictions of life in the trenches, and I walked away with a deeper appreciation for the horrors of war and greater respect for the sacrifices soldiers make for their country.This collection is by no means exhaustive, but it does include the poems of the major British war poets (and then some). Wilfred Owen is my personal favorite and I've read almost all his work before purchasing this book; even so, I'm pleased with the poems they selected for this collection. Hopefully, the publisher's good taste applies to the other poets as well. I do like the fact that they include pro-war poets, such as Rupert Brooke, with anti-war poets such as Siegfried Sassoon; it really helps give a fuller picture of the attitudes and ideas surrounding this unpopular (in Britain, at least) war. Again, this book is by no means a complete collection, but its brevity can actually be a boon if you're interested in simply reading the poetry of the time without getting bogged down with notes.If you're planning on writing a research paper on one of these poets, look elsewhere; the introductions are extremely brief and incomplete. The best place to learn more about the poets of World War I is at the First World War Poetry Digital Archive; there, you can get free online access to detailed biographies of each poet as well as other resources, including scans of their personal correspondence.World War I poetry is powerful, moving stuff; this book is a great way to experience it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars WWI Heart and Soul *by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018* I bought this as part of my reading to commemorate the 100th anniversary of WWI, but this little gem is worth adding to the home library to be read again and again. A brief bio- introduces each of the poets, followed by their selected poems. Combined, a history of the war comes through; beautifully written poetry about an ugly truth. By all means read the poems aloud to best appreciate them. It is an emotional experience and the tears that come are a respectful tribute. Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier," Wilfred Owen's "Arms and the Boy," Walter de la Mare's "How Sleep the Brave," Robert Graves' "When I'm Killed," to name a few. And of course one poem that is a must every Memorial Day, "In Flanders Fields," by John McCrae. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Poetry from a savage and brutal war *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013* I came late to the appreciation of poetry. I've been an avid reader of the different forms of prose for decades. My appreciation of poetry began with a better understanding of the art and mechanics of a poem. The Poet's Handbook by Judson Jerome helped me understand poetry better. Then I picked up a couple of books of poetry--and with a more sophisticated understanding of poetry--I had an elevated appreciation of the poems in these books.I searched Amazon for different books of poetry and came across the "Dover Thrift Edition". These are excellent,inexpensive,small compilations of poems--that are well worth the price. I highly recommend these poetry collections. I recently purchased "World War One-British Poets"--and I wasn't disappointed. I've been reading a great deal about that horrible,bloody war lately and the poetry from the war written mostly by poet-soldiers(some whom lost their lives in the war) was extremely sad and very moving. I especially enjoyed the poetry of Wilfred Owen and Issac Rosenberg--both of whom obviously had tremendous potential as poets and writers but unfortunately they perished during this terrible conflict. The Dover collection includes probably the most famous poem from WW1--"In Flanders Field"--an extremely moving--anti-war poem which captures the futility and sadness of death in just a few eloquent and beautiful lines. There are a few poems that a poetry novice like myself wasn't overly impressed with--but overall it is a collection of poems worth reading and then reading again and perhaps again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/2741424-world-war-one-british-poets-brooke-owen-sassoon-rosenberg-others](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/2741424-world-war-one-british-poets-brooke-owen-sassoon-rosenberg-others) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
