Allen Fisher Cambridge Reading

LATE NOTICE Wednesday 2nd March, 4pm

Allen Fisher, 'Complexity Manifold':

The Complexity Manifold talks set out with a polemic question: how do British poets approach composition in the twenty-first century? What the dominant paradigm for the cultural realm continues to be engaged in can be characterised as complicit and regressive, and this has pertained since it mattered in Britain, after the late 1950s or 1980s, and continues to provide inappropriate comprehension of most situations you could imagine. You read any newspaper and you will find it difficult to find any poetry worthy reading once, never mind rereading, and thus a dilemma for engaged cognition and perspective. If that doesn't characterise a problem for poetry, or more like a cluster of problems, then what does? The dilemma stems from a cluster, but it is informed by misappropriated paradigms as the norms.
