Metrics and Versification conference, Cambridge
Barque poets Simon Jarvis, Ian Patterson, and -- the programme says 'tbc' -- J H Prynne will be participating in this one day conference at Magdalene College on Saturday, 18 March, from 9.30 a.m.
"This one day conference aims to assess the current thinking about verse from aesthetic, technical and literary angles. It will bring together poets and musicians with scholars working in literature, linguistics and poetics. The emphasis will be on debate focusing on first principles.
The conference will run as a series of discussion panels, with short papers by key speakers encouraging participation by a audience which will include invited experts, members of a number of different Faculties of the University of Cambridge, graduate students and members of the general public. "
Sign up early to avoid disappointment we think.
