Audio recording of a lecture by Robert Adamson, CAL Chair in Poetry at the Centre for New Writing, University of Technology, Sydney.
If poetry can change a life, it can change a world. What influences converge in the composition of a poem? Wallace Stevens suggested ‘The imagination (was) the one reality in this imagined world’. In this lecture Robert Adamson will outline his development as a poet, how he came to write his first poem, and the first book that led to another twenty volumes. The inspiration came from many people, places and works of art, not least the pain and joy contained in these lines from Hart Crane’s The Broken Tower: ‘And so it was I entered the broken world/ To trace the visionary company of love, its voice an instant in the wind’.
