I was going to mention this

 

The research has also taken them back to the few months war poet Wilfred Owen spent teaching English literature at the school during his time recovering from shell-shock at Craiglockhart military hospital.

 

but it was already in the article.

 

http://www2.napier.ac.uk/warpoets/ gives more information about the collection. It's interesting and we get visitors from all over the world coming to see what we have.

 

I always try to mention the Hearts contribution, albeit it has nothing to do with poetry.

Been up to Craiglockhart to view the exhibition/artifacts held there - absoultely enthroling. Intersting the Owens "Anthem for Doomed Youth" is being linked to his time teaching at Tynecastle High.

It's quite small, but fascinating. If you are ever up again, give me a shout and I'll give you the "tour".
