Owens's poetry was promoted and published by Sassoon after his death, and backed by Edith Sitwell, a proponent of innovative trends in English poetry. In 1931 Edmund Blunden's anthology of Owens's work sent his reputation soaring to new heights, and today Owen is regarded as one of the most talented poets of the period. He is buried at Ors communal cemetery in France.

  • If any know a friend or stranger toying with joining the armed forces . . . let them send that person every last poem by this master of poetry . . . of human nature . . .

  • ...and still my favourite!

  • This is the first I heard or read this one.

    This is great!

  • Definitely the favourite among my Owen's favourites. It has bewitched me.

  • Owen really touches my heart . It's impossible to be cold hearing his lines. Kenneth Branagh's voice adds a magic charm and the outcome is of irresistible beauty. Thank you, TOF!

  • About to head off to Bedfordshire now - how wonderful to hear Kenneth's voice!
