Language and literature teachers, literature lovers
• To explore samples of poetic responses to the pandemic written in Engish by writers from different countries
• To respond to the texts and reflect on the role of poetry in times of crisis
• To discuss ways in which contemporary poetry can find new forms of expression in unprecedented circumstances
The arts have responded to the outbreak of the pandemic with a prolific production and making extensive use of digital media. What is the purpose of printed poetry in the present context? Does it help us heal? Develop awareness? Reinforce a reading experience outside the internet?
We will discuss these and other related issues based on the reading of a selection of poems recently published in Britain written by teachers of English and literature from different parts of the world.
Guided by the facilitator, participants will be encouraged to respond to the texts and reflect on the issues listed in the objectives and any other observations arising from the discussion.
