Review of 11 Central Ave #60. Wilfred Owen's war poem.
Despite the fact that I've reviewed so many pieces from this series, and spoken on the phone and via e-mail with the writers and even characters (oh, Anneliese-you are the smartest of them all)-I write again to urge you to give this program far more than a passing glance.
Like "The Birthday Present", 11CA captures a moment in this classic. The classic equation is "Comedy=Tragedy+Distance". This one is a commentary on the war, but unlike all of the other commentaries COMBINED-the decision is left up to the listener.
That is why it is important. It's a poem presented in a vastly different context, and that means that it drills a little further inside you than a turtlenecked academic pre-selling you on its importance.
Just download it. Schedule a place for it on the air and give it more of a chance than other programs.
Thank you.
