Do come along this Thursday (1 Nov) in Room 110, HUMSS Building, Whiteknights Campus, to the next meeting of the
CONTEMPORARY POETRY
DISCUSSION GROUP
This week we will be reading some of the work of the poets shortlisted for this year’s T.S. Eliot Prize.
We’ll look at 3 of the 10 poets: Jorie Graham, Kathleen Jamie and Paul Farley.
You can download 3 poems from each of their books from the TSEliot prize website here: <http://www.poetrybooks.co.uk/projects/24/> , together with a biography and photo of each poet.
But we are likely to focus in particular on 4 poems from earlier volumes:
Jorie Graham – ‘Mist’ from EROSION (1983)
Sea Change’ from SEA CHANGE
Paul Farley “Quality Street” from THE DARK FILM
‘Brutalist’ from THE TRAMP IN FLAMES (2006)
