Wilfred Owen Award Speech

WILFRED OWEN AWARD SPEECH

This is a true honor. Wilfred Owen was a great poet. He articulated the tragedy, the horror, and indeed the pity—of war—in a way no other poet has. Yet we have learnt nothing. Nearly one hundred years after his death, the world has become more savage, more brutal, more pitiless.

But the “free world” we are told (as embodied in the United States and Great Britain) is different to the rest of the world, since our actions are dictated and sanctioned by a moral authority and a moral passion condoned by someone called God. Some people may find this difficult to comprehend, but Osama bin Laden finds it easy.
