Poetry and Philosophy Workshop
11 June 2018

With the support of the Institute of Advanced Study and the Humanities Research Centre at Warwick, we are holding a one-day workshop on Poetry and Philosophy. We have in view a longer-term goal of forming a research and creative network that will bring together poets, philosophers and literary theorists and scholars. This workshop is a conversation-opener.

11.45-12.30 pm Jennifer Gosetti-Ferencei (Fordham): On Poetry and Truth
12.30-1.30 Lunch
1.30-2.15 Jack McGowan and Karen Simecek (Worcester and Warwick): Affectivity in the Performance Poetry Space
