The Poetry of Hide and Seek
with John Wedgwood Clarke
Saturday 11th May, 10.30 am–4.30 pm (please note later start and finish times)
Broadhempston Village Hall
John writes: We will be thinking about how image and voice can be used to conceal and/or expose autobiographical information, and how difficult or easy we want to make it for our readers to find us. Using Poems by Louise Gluck, Sharon Olds and my latest chapbook collection Boy Thing we'll range across poetic and physical hiding places, and think about how hiding and waiting to be found may itself be a form of poetic thinking space.
John has published three collections, Ghost Pot (2013), Landfill (2017) and Boy Thing (2023) as well as numerous pamphlets. He is an associate professor in creative writing at the University of Exeter. He regularly collaborates on interdisciplinary arts/science projects.
