  • Yorkshire Poetry, 1954-2019: Language, Identity, Crisis

    Yorkshire Poetry, 1954-2019: Language, Identity, Crisis

    YORKSHIRE POETRY, 1954-2019: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, CRISIS Kyra Leigh Piperides Jaques, BA (Hons) and MA, (Hull) PhD University of York English & Related Literature October 2019 This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/L503848/1) through the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the writing of a large selection of twentieth- and twenty-first- century East and West Yorkshire poets, making a case for Yorkshire as a poetic place. The study begins with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, and concludes with Simon Armitage, Sean O’Brien and Matt Abbott’s contemporary responses to the EU Referendum. Aside from arguing the significance of Yorkshire poetry within the British literary landscape, it presents poetry as a central form for the region’s writers to represent their place, with a particular focus on Yorkshire’s languages, its identities and its crises. Among its original points of analysis, this thesis redefines the narrative position of Larkin and scrutinizes the linguistic choices of Hughes; at the same time, it identifies and explains the roots and parameters of a fascinating new subgenre that is emerging in contemporary West Yorkshire poetry. This study situates its poems in place whilst identifying the distinct physical and social geographies that exist, in different ways, throughout East and West Yorkshire poetry. Of course, it interrogates the overarching themes that unite the two regions too, with emphasis on the political and historic events that affected the region and its poets, alongside the recurring insistence of social class throughout many of the poems studied here.
  • Wilfred Owen's Missing Folio

    Wilfred Owen's Missing Folio

    APPENDIX: WILFRED OWEN'S MISSING FOLIO On or about 20 l\lay 1918, having juSt returned from a visit to Robert Ross in London, Wilfred Owen wrotc to his mother from Ripon, having undertaken there a major revision of all his work to that date. Significantly, he said in that letter, 'The upshot is that I am to have my work typed at once, and send it to Heinemann, who is certain 10 send it to Ross to read for him!!' No such folio of typed script has been discovered, but it is inconcei .... able that he failed to compile this for typing, particularly as the only presently known manuscripts of so many poems are of unfinished drafts, most particularly in the instance of 'Strange Meeting'. This poem's surviving manuscripts clearly demonstrate its unfinished state; they themselves comprise the prime evidence that they do not give us a fair copy of a,lintJliseti text. Those that survive have amendarions which are arguably alterna/it'( or additional, rather than ./inal. Further, there is strong evidence that the generally acknowledged version's 44 lines are far short of what Owen actually wrote. In a pre-publication list he tabulated between J\lay and July "1918, 'Strange J\[eeting' is, most importantly, listed as categorically finished and, as such, comprised/our pages of text in its./inished state. These facts are specifically and very methodically noted by Wilfred Owen in this handwritten list. None of the surviving manuscripts gives us the poem's text on more than two pages. It is therefore the case that either the whole of a./Qur page manuscript has been lost or, at the very least.

    Hull History Centre: Papers of Tony F. Griffin U DTFG Papers of Tony F. Griffin c.1940s-2016 Accession number: 2017/11 Biographical Background: Tony F. Griffin was born on 11 October 1949 in Richmond, Surrey. He lived predominantly in Hull and Leeds. He opened and ran a book shop in Leeds, Griffin's Books, where he also established a series of poetry readings and was later involved in Flux Gallery Press. He first gained attention as a poet after his work was included in the anthology A Rumoured City: New Poets from Hull (1982), which also contained work by Douglas Dunn and Peter Didsbury amongst others. Around this time, he also contributed poems to various national periodicals on the advice of Philip Larkin. His first major collection of poetry, Cider Days, was published in 1990, followed by his second major book, Kavita, in 2003. In 2010, his work was included in the sequel to Douglas Dunn's 1982 anthology, Old City, New Rumours: A Hull Anthology, and in the same year, a festschrift titled Born Into An Unquiet was published to mark Griffin's 60th birthday. In 2013, Tricycle Songs was published by Flux Gallery Press and in the following year, a collection of previously unpublished poems was printed under the title Moving from the South. At the time of his death on 27 April 2016, he was working with Jules Smith on a project about the Hull Poets called Librarians and Barbarians. Custodial history: Donated Jun 2017 Description: This collection includes poetry files, poetry notebooks, poetry publications, correspondence files, items relating to the shop ‘Griffin’s Books’, and personal papers relating to Tony F.

    Poetry in the Natural World

    Year 9 Poetry Anthology (Summer 2018 onwards) Poetry in the natural world Brookvale Groby Learning Campus: Faculty of English, Media & Literacy ABE Summer 2018 Poetry in the natural world 'Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own.' – Dylan Thomas The theme of nature and the natural world has been recurring inspiration for poets ever since the first poems were written thousands of years ago. The Greek poet Theocritus began writing about rural life in his ‘idylls’ (a poem or piece of short prose about rustic life) in the third century BCE. No matter what country or era, the changes in landscape, weather, seasons and natural phenomenon have been an inescapable part of the history of poetry. How do I read a poem? 'There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the heart of the reader.' – Robert Frost The very first thing that a poem will do is to make you feel something. That ‘something’ may be joy, sadness, frustration, pity – even confusion – but the important thing is that it makes a connection. It may take several readings to make that connection, but that’s OK. The results we get from spending time with a poem is worth the hard work.

This study builds a new theoretical framework for critical and practical work on imaginative composition by investigation of Edward Thomas's composing processes and complementary analysis of the processes of writing my own poetry collection. Thomas's emphasis on fragmentation of thought, hesitancy and silence in the content and form of his poetry, positioning him on the borders of Modernism, reflects essential aspects of his composing processes, as documented in his notes, letters, prose and poetry. The creating and revisiting of my own works-in-progress and final collection, in the light of the study of Thomas and in dialogue with readers, reveals further insights into poetic composition. Chapter One examines the point at which poems emerge and the influence of external writing conditions. Chapters Two and Three look at absence in the composing process in ellipses, aporia, gaps and unfinishedness, and in the art of submission as it is used in composing. Chapter Four investigates distraction, non-logical connections and physical and temporal disturbances in composing.

    SERGEANT OF OUTPOSTS SERGEANT OF OUTPOSTS: ONE EDITOR'S ROLE IN POST-WAR BRITISH POETRY 1944 - 1981 By BROCE MILLER MEYER, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University .July 1988 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY {1988) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Sergeant of Outposts: One Editor's Role in Post-War Poetry. AUTHOR: Bruce Miller Meyer, B.A. (University of Toronto) M.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Dr. B. John NUMBER OF PAGES: iv, 312 ii ABSTRACT Poetry magazines are a reflection of the trends and the pressures of their ages: such was the case with Howard Sergeant's Outposts. Howard Sergeant was the longest continuous editor of a single literary magazine in the English language. Founded in 194) under the pressures of the Second World War, Outposts continued under his editorial direction until ill-health forced him to relinquish the reins in 1986. Between 1944 and 1986, Sergeant and Outposts played a key role in many of the major trends, groups and movements that shaped modern British poetry. Begun as a poetry and critical journal with a wartime "Apocalyptic'' slant, Sergeant's Outposts evolved through the changes which encompassed the Nee-Romantics, the Personalists, The Movement, the Mavericks, The Group, the pop poets, and the Martians and Narrative poets of the Eighties. Sergeant was among the first to recognize these changes in British poetry, and his magazine is a cross­ section of the currents and counter-currents of the period.
