Event overview
Goldsmiths Writers’ Centre present The Place for Poetry.
Confirmed contributors include: Paul Muldoon, Maura Dooley, Blake Morrison, Ros Barber, Jack Underwood, and Stephen Knight.
This dynamic two-day festival will investigate the spaces in which contemporary poetry operates. Through a programme of seminars, masterclasses, readings and academic papers from leading poets and poetic practitioners, we aim to explore the place of as well as the spaces for poetry in modern life.
From war reporting to mappings of migration, from defining individual identity to relating stories of community, contemporary poets take on huge themes. Yet what space does poetry occupy? What tasks can it perform? How is poetry used to negotiate the three-dimensional world? Where do we locate the impulse towards the experiential, the political and the experimental in contemporary poetry? How does poetry accommodate language shifts – especially urban languages? What are the fertile areas for growth and publication in poetry?
