from Poems for Company · host KMUN
“Remembering the First World War”: Our first poem details the life of a veteran who managed to survive the carnage and reflects on–or tries not to reflect on–his specific experiences during the war. The next two poems depict civilians beginning to come to terms with their memories of the suffering shared throughout England. Edmund Blunden, “The Veteran.” Ursula Roberts, “The Cenotaph.” Philip Johnstone, “High Wood.” Our theme music is Philip Aaberg’s “Going-to-the-Sun” from his CD Live from Montana (available at sweetgrassmusic.com) and used with the kind permission of Mr. Aaberg.
