About this title

Synopsis

'Philip Larkin': It may be that the row about Larkin following the publication of his letters in 1992 will be seen in the future as crystallising, momentarily, a number of issues about what society expects of poets and what it thinks poets are for. Rather than invite a re-run of the extreme positions taken in newspaper columns at the time, the organisers of this conference thought it more profitable to ask speakers to address ways of imagining new contexts, not ignoring the social stereotyping that Larkin's letters sometimes so vividly entertain, but acknowledging that the poems are complex, troubled and uneasy with their attitudes to life and art.The broad concern of 'Poetry in the Classroom, the Media and the World' was the way that poets and poetry are seen in society generally. How is poetry read and valued? How does it relate to other kinds of writing and to other subjects in the curriculum? Answers to these questions inevitably vary from poet to poet, but the evidence brought forward at the conference suggests that certain stereotypes persist and are encountered regularly by people who make it their business as writers or teachers to interest others in poetry.
