Dear all,
I have just had a booklet drop through my door advertising activities at the Hay Festival. I note that on Saturday 27th May
'in her annual poetry masterclass, (Professor) Greer explores the idea that literature is a masculinist invention; poetry in particular is a spectacular form of male display. Women have to adapt a language which objectifies them absolutely to become the speakers, the verbal aggressors'
Any thoughts on this?
My own feelings are that this is a sterile and unhelpful approach to the study of poetry.
And could someone explain what a 'poetry masterclass' is please?
Tina
