CONTACT:Paul Ireland
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Ward tries to get to the source of the discomfort that m
 any readers experience in their encounters with modern poetry. He asks whe
 ther schools are to blame for instilling a fear of poetry\, or whether poe
 try itself has taken any wrong turnings following the innovations of T S E
 liot\, the Surrealists\, and others. In this critical but also autobiograp
 hical account\, he takes us on a journey at whose end the difficulty of po
 etry is shown to be not so much a mountain to climb\, as a pleasure to be 
 enjoyed.\n\n*Booking*\n\nBooking is essential as places are limited:\n\n"B
