The University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education will be running the weekend course "The War Poets and Their Legacy" in July.

We are pleased to present a series of commissioned articles written about Blunden. The articles have been commissioned with a view to presenting some new perspectives on his work. They will be published in the 'Articles' section of the website over the coming weeks.

Many years ago Jim White, who was a friend and neighbour of Blunden's, made a small selection of his poetry which was printed and sold in Long Melford Church.

In his article 'Armistice Day: The Great War and the words we mustn't forget' Robert Fisk quotes 'Undertones of War' and describes Blunden's style as 'contemporary'.

To celebrate the launch of the Edmund Blunden Collection, part of Oxford University’s First World War Poetry Digital Archive, Margi Blunden was interviewed on Jack FM Oxfordshire.

A number of newspapers, including the Guardian and Telegraph covered the launch of the Edmund Blunden Collection in Oxford University’s First World War Poetry Digital Archive.

The First World War Poetry Digital Archive is an online repository of over 4000 items of text, images, audio, and video for teaching, learning, and research.

The archive includes collections of primary material from major poets of the period, including Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, Robert Graves and now Edmund Blunden.

The Edmund Blunden Collection, which includes previously unseen material, goes live on 2 September 2009.

The East Meets East exhibition, celebrating 150 years of Anglo/Japanese relations, will take place from the 23rd-27th September 2009 in The Forum, Norwich.

Edmund Blunden's short poem 'Lark Descending' was quoted on the BBC's Springwatch this week.

The concert Songs of War is a programme of well-known poems of First World War poets in settings by distinguished composers, from Butterworth, Gurney, Ireland, Finzi and Britten to contemporary composers, including some first performances.
