活动简介

The ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ – Coleridge’s description of ‘poetic faith’ – is now a widely used phrase in Anglophone cultures, but the radical implications of Coleridge’s seminal idea are less frequently considered. In this talk Professor Gregory Leadbetter will explore the idea of poetic faith in detail, together with its ongoing significance for the practice of poetry. He will conclude by reading a selection of his own poems.
