Join us for the last meeting of term, from 7.30-9pm in room 119 of the Mary Allan Building at Homerton College. We'll end our discussions of all things analogical with a glass of wine and a mince pie or two, and by looking at Simon Armitage's "Modelling the Universe: Poetry, Science, and the Art of Metaphor" in Robert Crawford (ed.) Contemporary Poetry and Contemporary Science, pp. 110-122 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006). A photocopy of this is available in the Whipple Library boxfile. Also, do please bring along any examples you have found of poems with particularly striking use of metaphor, simile, and analogy. All welcome!
