Strange Meeting

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Wilfred Owen was a Shropshire lad who struggled to get an education and then struggled to find a poetic voice. Sent to the battlefields of the First World War, it was only when he painfully renounced his unquestioning jingoism that he produced his masterpieces. Russell Davies considers the achievements of Owen, who was bom 100 years ago. Producer David Perry
(Kenneth Branagh reads Wilfred Owen 's letters and poems starting next Monday at 9.25pm)
