Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this innovative series of public lectures at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, leading contemporary poets speak about the craft and practice of poetry to audiences drawn from both the city and the university. The lectures are then published in book form by Bloodaxe, giving readers ev…erywhere the opportunity to learn what the poets themselves think about their own subject. Carol Rumens' three lectures cover the poetry of Philip Larkin and Derek Mahon as well as form and music in the work of a range of contemporary women poets. Forget What Did? Philip Larkin's "Poems of Lost Childhood": What made this strange, sometimes unattractive personality a powerful poet? Putting aside the politics, this lecture draws on autobiographical material as well as early poems to suggest a possible imaginative source in childhood trauma. It also traces the younger Larkin's interest in Jung, Lawrence, Auden and others, and examines the famous 'two voices' of his maturity, the demotic and the literary. "Solitude and Sociability: An Introduction to the Poetry of Derek Mahon": Bleak North Antrim coastlines and a sense of isolation contrast with the warm intellectual companionship of other writers and artists often conjured in Derek Mahon's work. This lecture takes an overview of his themes and forms, including a look at the conversation he conducts, via his many dedicatory and epistolary poems, across the time-zones. "Line, Women and Song": Have women poets brought distinctive approaches to the music and metre of contemporary poetry? Adrienne Rich, Marilyn Hacker and Ruth Padel provide some of the material examined. Can there be a politically radical verse in traditional form? Can the English language and ancient, imported forms and metres still fruitfully work together? This is the fifth book in the "Newcastle/Bloodaxe Poetry Series". Carol Rumens's Newcastle/Bloodaxe Poetry Lectures cover the poetry of Philip Larkin and Derek Mahon as well as form and music in the work of a range of contemporary women poets. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Certain to be one of the most read and talked-about poetry collections of the year, Blind Spots is a masterclass of inventive, intelligent, original, and relevant modern poetry.A major voice in contemporary verse, Carol Rumens is admired as much for her technical brilliance as for the range, breadth an…d subtlety of her subject matter. You might find a sonnet, a sestina, a villanelle but you'll also chance across a pantoum or a ghazal, or a fluid free verse poem where birdsong flickers off the edges of the page. Most uncommonly, these poems are informed by a consciousness that is as fiercely personal and tender as it is public-minded and political. The result is often a thrilling tension of opposites: a romance that teeters on the brink of fulfilment, or shirts that suddenly 'speak' an elegiac chorus from a clothesline on the Gaza Strip.This particular book is divided into two parts. Part one: 'Thinking about Montale by the River Hull', is a series of 'muse' poems that are inspired by lines or images from the Italian poet, Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) and also influenced by the Hull-based poet, Philip Larkin (1922-1985). Rumens has captured and re-interpreted Montale's passionate, resonant tone and artfully transposes his sun-drenched Tuscany to the cool, grey environs of the East Yorkshire river. The central themes of these poems: longing, inspiration, unrequited desire, aging, change are beautifully surmised in this important sequence.The longer Part 2 opens with a more typically witty account of an engagement between the protagonist's hand, "painter of eyes, grasper of nettles, money-masseuse, reviser of stories", and the hungry mouth of a newborn baby. Here poems vary between quick family portraits, pointed observations and musings on landscapes and seasons, several sharp political pieces, including one short lyric where floodwater puddles seem to resemble war-torn continents, a few more inspired by Larkin, and poems that are admixtures of themes, and, using multi-layered vocabularies, seek to unsettle our prejudices and thwart conventional expectations."There is no word out of place . . . This collection will be read decades from now."The Independent"It's a treat to read a poet whose Muse dances so joyfully, alongside scholarship, through these pages." Artemis, May 09.
