Arvon Residential 5-Day Course: Writing The Haunted Landscape (Poetry)
Mon 2 Aug 2021 to Sat 7 Aug 2021
How can we be bodily present in the landscape while remaining conscious of what is absent, admire the vista while acknowledging its compromised nature? How can our poetry reflect this?
In this course – led by Steve Ely and Harriet Tarlo – we’ll engage with the revenants of the past, the realities of the present and our fears of the future.
We will explore how our own experience is increasingly haunted by ecological hopes and anxieties in a landscape that is continually in the process of being transformed and remade
