| Notes | The speaker of the poem commemorates the British war poet, Wilfred Owen, who died in the last days of World War I, one week before the Armistice ending the war was to be signed. The speaker of the poem brings him an offering of Owen's own poetry collection - a collection which he didn't live to see in print. The speaker of the poem addresses Owen directly in the poem, stating that his words and poetry continue to revive him, make him alive once again. |
