Tutor: Victoria Field | Canterbury campus
These three day schools will explore how writers, especially poets, have responded to issues around mind, body and spirit. The first day will focus on images and ideas of madness and sanity with respect to poetry. The second will take the body as a theme and explore how poets have responded to the physical self, especially in relation to illness. Finally, the third day will examine what is meant by ‘spirit’ and how poets have engaged with that idea. The days will involve close reading of mostly contemporary poems, some writing in response and other creative activities as appropriate.
