Portrait of poet and author Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967). One of the most notable War Poets, Sassoon, who had multiple received multiple decorations for his bravery during WWI, took a strong stand against the war in his literary work. During and after the war, he became a major literary figure and was friends with many great authors and artists, from the Bloomsbury Group and beyond. His fascinating relationship with Stephen Tennant was very intense and painful (especially for Sassoon, I guess). I am looking forward so much to get the opportunity to watch Benediction, the newest film of the great @terencedaviesofficial - it's all about Sassoon AND made by one of my favorite filmmakers, so I just can't wait. (When will it be released in Belgium, I wonder...?) #siegfriedsassoon #warpoet #poet #literature #queerauthor #wwi #terencedavies #benediction #stephentennant #bloomsburygroup https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbFhcmtU_z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
