Carol Rumens considers musicality in poetry and specifically in Larkin's poetry.
In the final lecture in the series, Carol Rumens considers musicality in poetry and specifically in Larkin's poetry. She goes on to discuss the ways in which melody is still relevant to 21st century poetry, and attempts to trace those under-noticed writers who continue in what might be broadly called the lyric tradition.
Carol Rumens is Visiting Professor of Poetry at the University of Hull. She has
published fourteen full-length collections of poetry, and has won various awards,
including the Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize (with Thomas McCarthy), a Cholmondeley
Award and the Prudence Farmer Prize.
