Even today, in fact especially today, when the ruins of my very body are the prison, poetry is my way through the wire and out ...into the world." - An extract from late critic’s, Clive James, final book The Fire of Joy which celebrates the poems he loved most. . https://www.theguardian.com//clive-james-the-poems-i-remem . Which poems have stayed with you? . . . . Clive James. Photograph: Karen Robinson/The Observer #poetry #spokenword #creative #writing #artthroughwords See more

23.01.2022 From Our Friends in the Comparative Literature Department
21.01.2022 Poets and philosophers are both engaged with a struggle to understand human life, meaning, and our place in the cosmos . . . They are both careful observers of others and of themselves, and when they are great poets or philosophers they are able to see things that are invisible to others and make them visible. So that people say ‘Aha of course. I always knew it was like that!’
