LIVERPOOL: Dead Good Poets Society Guest Night – Rebecca Goss & Alicia Stubbersfield
Wednesday, 18th April, 2012, 7.30pm–10pm, £3/£2 pay on the door
The Garden Café,
Blackburne House,
Hope Street,
Liverpool
Blackburne House,
Hope Street,
Liverpool
Alicia Stubbersfield has published three
collections of poetry & her fourth, The Yellow Table, is forthcoming from
Pindrop Press in 2012. As well as many other places she has run workshops for,
& read at, The Southbank Centre, & Ledbury & Aldeburgh Poetry
Festivals. She frequently tutors courses for The Arvon Foundation, The Taliesin
Trust at Ty Newydd & The Poetry School, & is a Senior Lecturer in
Creative Writing at Liverpool John Moores University.
“These sparkling poems ring true in a
shrewd, honest, lyrical voice unfurling the colours of love.” - Robert
Hamburger
“Her world is witty, moving, affectionate
and gaudy yet it is a place where the brilliance of the colours is haunted by
what lies in the shadows.” – Maura Dooley
Rebecca Goss began writing poetry as a
teenager & was a Special Award winner in the 1991 WH Smith Young Writer’s
Competition, judged by Ted Hughes. Her poems have appeared in many
literary magazines & anthologies including Stand, Ambit & Magma. The
Anatomy of Structures, her first full length collection, was published by
Flambard Press in 2010. She was Highly Commended in The Forward Prize
2010 & has success in other competitions including The Bridport Prize,
Mirehouse/ways with words & the Torriano Poetry Competition. She was
awarded an Authors' Foundation Grant from The Society of Authors in 2011, to
assist with the completion of her next collection.
"What is remarkable about her poems is
that they make the most intimate experiences of love and death both shocking
and simple... It is a fine first book" - Jon Glover, Stand, Volume 10 (2),
2011
"This is Rebecca Goss’ first full
collection, and it’s a startlingly good beginning. For her the poem’s the
thing. When she chooses to write about imaginary situations, she still achieves
the tang of truth. This is good, strong, efficient writing, accurate,
economical, clear-sighted, from a woman who has her finger on the pulse of
life." - R.V. Bailey, Envoi, 157, October 2010

MANCHESTER: Poetry In Motion?
Blackwell University Bookshop,
The Precinct,
Oxford Road,
Manchester
With poetry enjoying a resurgence in the public arena, the Manchester Salon is hosting a debate on the relevance of poetry to our everyday lives.
Poetry has not been short on headlines recently, from the controversy over the election of the Oxford Professor of Poetry to poet Michael Rosen’s withering attacks on the education system.
On the big screen poets have surfaced in Bright Star (Keats) and even pop artists are getting in on the act, with Mike Scott of Waterboys fame setting music to verse by WB Yeats.
But while many praise the therapeutic qualities of poetry in helping us cope with the stresses of the hectic, 24-7 modern world, some recoil when poems such as Duffy’s ‘Education for Leisure’ have an apparently more disturbing message.
Where can we draw a line between opening up difficult and complex works of literature to an unfamiliar audience, and simply being patronising? Is seeking relevance a response to the challenge to ‘make it new’ for another generation, or does it risk losing some of the original value and meaning? In a climate where so much of academia and education is encouraged to demonstrate its ‘impact’, can or should poetry justify itself? What is poetry for and how should it be taught?
The discussion will be led by Angelica Michelis, senior lecturer in the department of English at Manchester Metropolitan University and by Dr Anthony Rowland, professor of literary studies at the University of Salford where he teaches creative writing and literature.
