The Dead Poets Society of W.W. I

• The Literary Digest, 1917 •

This column appeared late in 1917 listing the body count of dead poets who were decomposing in no-man's land. A number of the scribes are unknown in our era; among the prominent names are Alan Seeger, Julian Grenfel and Rupert Brooke.

The article was printed in THE LITERARY DIGEST and delivered to the newsstands the same week that Wilfred Owen, the most well known of World War I poets, was discharged from Craiglockhart Hospital, where he first resolved to write poetry about his experiences in the war.
