The Creative
In the next issue of The Creative - "a magazine to enable University of Sunderland students to display their original poetry, prose, and articles relating to creativity" - I will be the featured guest writer. This is following my lecture at the beginning of the year entitled The Seawater Journals in which I presented poetry and music in response to this quotation by John Kinsella in which he describes the remit of radical pastoral poetry:
Functionality, modernity, the "awareness" of artifice in the creation of pastoral texts, the consideration of movement between urban and rural spaces - both conceptual and physical - and, fundamentally, the relationship of lyrical language and the position of the observer, the lyrical I, to the rural.
The featured poem in the magazine will be "The Mudlarks".
