#remembrancereads #poetry #wilfredowen I am not an expert and this may be a rambling introduction but I wanted to say something about Wilfred Owen on his death. I took 'The Blood of Poets' from a song by Philip Jeays that you can find on his album 'London'. Books mentioned in the video The Poems of Wilfred Owen, Wordsworth Poetry Library, 2002 - there are lots of different editions of Owen's po...

Remembrance Reads [and a Test]

This is a test and rough announcement video in one. I'm launching my BookTube channel and I wanted to see what the sound and video quality was like using the limited resources I have. Plus here's my announcement of 'Remembrance Reads' my November World War One based reading month.
Thanks for the video. Another new poet for me to discover.
Thank you for introducing me to Mary Borden. I'm getting so much out of your videos and so glad you are creating content. You're providing a unique and needed voice to booktube.
Thanks.
i am loving this series bc there is so much i dont know about ww1!!!
Thanks Kiran. You are almost single-handedly - but not quite - keeping it commented upon.
Wilfred Owen is actually one of my favourite poets. I've got his book on my shelf and it was the only poetry I enjoyed learning at school. I really felt his emotion and the realism in his writing, compared to other poets.
I only discovered Wilfred Owen last year, which is such a shame. The US education system is quite lacking, but that's a story for another day. I've enjoyed what I've read by him.
I think World War One is culturally less significant for the USA than for the UK.
@@Lokster71 Yes, I would absolutely agree. I was wondering if you are familiar with the book Muse of Fire: World War 1 as Seen Through the Lives of the Soldier Poets by Michael Korda? It was published in April of 2024, I think. I found it in my research yesterday.
@@ariannefowler455 I know of it and I want to read it but it'll have to wait for either library or a gift before I get round to reading it.
Thank you Tony. Really enjoying your videos. World War 1 isn't a topic that I know a huge amount about and I'm finding these really interesting 😊
i haven't heard of wilfred owen before! but now i'm excited to read some of his poems!!
Thanks Kiran. Honestly you're so good at actually watching and liking stuff.
this is great tony!!
Thanks Kiran. I do worry about my waffling.
Great recommendations. I happened to pick up Poetry of the First World War edited by Tim Kendall this week. I ended up ordering In Parenthesis after watching your last video. The video is not too long at all, in my opinion. I would even watch longer videos.
I hope you like 'In Parenthesis'.
I started my WW1 reading today. I have several books on my list for the month. I will check out In Parenthesis.
Yay! I can't wait to see your videos.
I think “a prose poem in seven parts” is right. Good discussion of a book I’ve attempted several times, but not gotten far into. (Mine is the NYRB edition.)
The quality of both video and audio is just fine for booktube. And you have a lovely, comfortable style. Welcome to booktube!
yipee!! welcome to booktube tony!!
Thank you.
Really interesting watch. Thank you so much
