CFP: Robert Fergusson’s Textual Legacies in the 250 Years Since his Death
6 September, University of Glasgow – free
This symposium commemorates 250 years since the death of the influential #18thcentury#Scottish poet Robert Fergusson (1750–1774). Fergusson’s career was prolific: despite having only six creative years, Fergusson’s output of over one hundred #poems & #songs, in English & Scots, is substantial
I went to a poetry
workshop today and we did an exercise where we wrote down a bunch of lines on paper (about a rock! 🪨), chopped them up, and switched them around to explore different pairings and poem structures.
I don't normally write poems like this, with the fancy formatting and whatnot, but I felt like the prompts and the exercise kind of necessitated it. You can read it in multiple ways too which is kind of neat!
come for the #Poems you read in school, stay to argue what should have been on the list, go home and get a hug because you read 'Daddy' by Sylvia Plath.
