Below is a link to an article from The Independent newspaper that explores the continuing resonance of Wilfred Owen and the poetry of the First World War. David Cameron recently declared, when asked to discuss National Poetry Day, that Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et Decorum est' is his favourite poem. Not a big fan of Cameron but I remain a huge fan of this magical and harrowing poem. Click on poem to read Owen's incredibly disturbing text and click on link below to access the newspaper article:
