Strange Meeting' by Wilfred Owen is one of the most haunting and unforgettable poems to emerge from the First World War. Written in 1918, shortly before Owen’s tragic death at the age of just twenty-five, the poem takes readers far beyond the trenches and the battlefield. Instead of focusing on the noise and violence of war, Owen transports us into a dreamlike underworld—a silent, dark tunnel where two dead soldiers, once enemies, meet face to face.
