Close Reading the Elegy with David Constantine
Sat 7 Feb 2015 to Sat 7 Feb 2015
The elements of a traditional elegy mirror three stages of loss: lament, then praise and admiration of the idealized dead, and finally consolation and solace
Poets such as Auden, Celan, Rilke, Heaney, Dunn, Lowell and Hughes wrote memorable examples. In this masterclass, award-winning poet David Constantine will share with the group examples of elegies for close reading and discussion, and give insights in to how this demanding and inspiring form works.
