I anledning hundreårsmarkeringen av første verdenskrigs utbrudd utgir Tiden den engelske soldaten og forfatteren Wilfred Owens sjokkerende og realistiske dikt fra skyttergravene. Owen tjenestegjorde i Artist's Rifles, et kompani av kunstnere som vervet seg frivillig. Diktene om grusomhetene ved skyttergravene sto i skarp kontrast til det allmenne inntrykket av krig i samtiden og til de patriotiske diktene til tidligere poeter. Arne Ruste har valgt ut og gjendiktet tjuefem av Owens mest kjente dikt for denne samlingen, med få unntak, for første gang på norsk. Janne Stigen Drangsholt har skrevet et etterord. Wilfred Owen (1893-1918) blir av mange regnet som den viktigste poeten fra første verdenskrig. Han døde i kamp bare én uke før krigen endte, 25 år gammel.
