About this listen

In this episode of the St. David’s Holy Faith Greystones Podcast, host Chris from 2nd Year sits down with his classmates to unpack one of the most powerful war poems ever written — 🎙️ Wilfred Owen’s Dulce et Decorum Est.

Together, they explore how Owen’s vivid imagery and brutal honesty reveal the true horrors of World War I, challenging the old idea that it is “sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.” The students discuss their favourite lines, the emotions the poem stirs, and why Owen’s message still matters today.

Join Chris and the 2nd Years for a thoughtful and heartfelt conversation that brings poetry, history, and humanity together in a way that’s both relatable and inspiring.
