Abstract	The Great War, and its seismic convulsion which ravaged the world between 1914 and 1918, exerted a profound influence on the rarefied realm of English poetry, ushering in a paradigmatic shift in the literary landscape . As the war’s unprecedented devastation, it’s brutalising impact on human experience, and its corrosive effect on traditional social and moral norms, coalesced to create an existential crisis of unfathomable proportions, a new generation of poets rose, determined to capture the trauma, disillusionment, and the growing sense of cynicism and despair that characterised the zeitgeist of the war-torn era.
Keywords	Great War, seismic convulsions paradigmatic shift, existential crisis, soldiers and poets.
