Politics of Poetry - David Eggleton, Jessica Thompson Carr, Fiona Farrell - Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival 2021

Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival

For centuries, poetry has played an important role in both recording cultural events and reflecting the mood of the people. David Eggleton, Jessica Thompson Carr, and Fiona Farrell will share perspectives on the politics inherent in poetry. Chaired by Emma Neale, they will examine the way poetry enables debate, and how it can subvert and challenge societal views to effect change.
