Craft Talk with Mark Wunderlich: The Posthumous Voice: how poets bring the dead back to life
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | The rather gothic title of this talk describes a stance taken by many poets over the centuries who have chosen to imagine themselves as having departed from this world, but still capable of speech. Others have chosen to perform literary ventriloquism, by giving voice to the dead. What is behind this impulse, and how does it work? In this talk, we will look at poems by Whitman, Dickinson, Rilke, Clifton, MacLeish, Plath, CD Wright and others, all of whom have performed versions of this great magic trick.
