Poetry

Wallace Stevens described poetry as,
    “Words that in the ear
    in the delicatest ear of the mind, repeat,
    Exactly that which it wants to hear.”

Poetry is not simply a well chosen collection of words. It takes risks, excites and disturbs whilst prompting recognition of the sensation it describes. Our poetry students have created a collection that shows technical discipline and attention to language in poems that resonate long after they have been laid aside.
