Poets hand translation over to ghosts

In her inaugural lecture, Professor Anna Jackson will look at how poetry differs from other forms of communication.

Reading poems by six poets, from Catullus to Jackson McCarthy, Professor Jackson will consider what it is to be a poet—the role of the body and the pleasures of disembodiment, translation as both disappearance and revelation, reading as a form of espionage, how a poem travels, where it goes, and how its transmission and reception make ghosts of both poet and reader.

IT IS A PUBLIC LECTURE.
