hello Patrick, yet it is. I will not be there because I will be in Italy
until the 10th of November. In my place, there will be an actor, which
makes it all the better. But please, say hello to Key. The translator of my
poems will attend the event, Brian Cole. It's a pity we will miss
this other opportunity to get to know each other. You know that the 'Poetry
in translation day conference', in Oxford, which we both planned to attend,
with Peter Dale also there, was postponed so, if you wish to take this
opportunity, I have the details. Here they are, for everyone.
Department at Oxford Brookes in 1998. The Centre hosts an annual programme
of events whose ambition is to involve academics alongside poets in the
discussion of central themes and ideas relating to British, Irish, American
and postcolonial poetries in English across the twentieth- and into the
twenty-first centuries. The Centre also acts as a base for post-doctoral
researchers and graduate students studying and writing in the area. It
oversees the Royal Literary Fund Fellowship scheme at Oxford Brookes.
The annual Research Conference has attracted a wide range of speakers and
delegates from universities and poetry groups across the UK, America, and
Europe. The Colloquium has focused on subjects including politics and the
vernacular, dissemination, the poetic mapping of the century, the new media
and poetry, poetry and public space, and poetry and translation. An
important element in each colloquium has been the participation of poets
alongside academics, and the programme has included readings by James
Berry, Lavinia Greenlaw, Carol Rumens, Bernard O'Donoghue, Tom Paulin and
Sarah Maguire amongst others. The Colloquium is often supported by linked
seminars earlier in the academic year.
Key staff at the Centre currently include the Director, Professor Steven
Matthews, the Deputy Director, Dr. Alexandra Goody, and the AHRB Fellow in
Creative and Performing Arts, Fiona Sampson. Other members of the English
Department at Oxford Brookes also teach and work in the area and support
the Centre's activities. For further details about the Centre or its
programme, contact Professor Steven Matthews, School of Arts and
Humanities, Oxford Brookes University, Gypsy Lane, Oxford. OX1 1TU. Email
