For those who are already "Reading Wales" this month, or for those who might still have time to participate if curious, Paula kicks off the month with this bit of Welsh literature:

Wilfred Owen was born on this day, March 18, 1893.
If you've never read his poems, do so.

Wilfred Owen è nato in questo giorno, il 18 marzo 1893.
Se non avete mai letto le sue poesie, fatelo.

I've dedicated to him my paint "NOT ABOUT HEROES" - Ecoline, china ink, prints - private collection

Film of the year has got to be Benediction.

I admit I’m biased: Terence Davies is my favourite director - gay, Liverpudlian, (a bit) grumpy, honest, unashamedly and somehow radically nostalgic, truly cinematic.

WW1 poet Siegfried Sassoon was a great choice of subject (though I can’t say I warmed to him) and the performances are beautiful.
