  4. Poetry from the Edge
    Last Few Places
    Course start date:  Mon 12 May 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Laurie Smith
    Some poets began their writing lives, and sometimes lived much of them, outside the 'normal' modern urban lives which most of us experience. They have lived at the margins and despite - or perhaps because of - their geographic, political or emotional isolation, they have become major poets. We will look at how each has achieved national and international success with their poetry. Poets include C P Cavafy, Stevie Smith, Derek Walcott, Seamus Heaney and Bob Dylan.
