Sounding the deeps of nature -- The 'lyric I' -- Resettling in the english language -- Artistic distance and the language of oppression -- Writing in turbulent times
Summary
How does the poet become attuned to the language of the world's upheaval? How does one talk insightfully about suffering, without creating more of it? What is freedom in language and how does the poet who has endured political oppression write himself or herself free? What is literary testimony? 'Poetry and the Language of Oppression' is a consideration of the creative process that rests on the conviction that poetry is of help in moments of public duress, providing an illumination of life and a healing language
