- kjellsbells 7mo agoThere's an excellent In Our Time episode on Owen available from the BBC ([1], [2]) where Melvin Bragg gives an gentle yet chilling reading of the climax of the poem (about 29 minutes in). And like many IOT episodes, provides great context and detail eg on Jessie Pope, Sassoon, and so on.
