A Seminar by Dr Rose Lucas
all staff and students
are welcome
In this talk Dr Lucas plans to discuss some of the ways in which the hold of the hyper-rational can be loosened to allow the rhythms and images of poetry to flow. To this end, she will talk about strategies for writing, the nature of ‘inspiration’, the specificity of place, and the idea of poetry as a form of intense looking – which can provide windows onto the external world as well as the world of interiority.
