rwmg 1967! I had no idea. He's firmly linked in my mind to WW1 and the 1920s 1w

Cuilin @rwmg Yes same, his WW1 experience is so interesting being one of the ones that got diagnosed with Shell Shock and sent to Scotland. He was then sent back to the front was injured but survived!! I think in his later years his poetry from that time embarrassed him. Personally, I think it‘s historically important. 1w

CarolynM I find him fascinating. He was always an odd chap. I think in later life he tried to distance himself from a lot about his younger self, whether it was embarrassment or denial. Have you seen the film Benediction? I don‘t think it gets him completely right, but it felt closer in spirit than some of the things I‘ve read. 1w
Cuilin @CarolynM Yes, I did see it. I need to see it again. I think there was a lot of repression and yes embarrassment. There‘s something about those World War I poets that I find fascinating. 1w
