why do poets write about war
World War One more than any other war is associated with the so-called âwar poetsâ. The poems written by men such as Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Rupert Brooke, amongst others, is as poignant today as it was both during the war and immediately after it.World War Two did not produce such a flow of poetry targeted at the lifestyle of those who fought in the war.he majority of war poets were influenced by the âGeorgianâ poetry movement. The accepted leader of this movement was Edward Marsh who owned a poetry bookshop in London. He was also a patron of a number of young poets who were yet to make their names, as the war was some years off.
