Acclaimed poet and academic William Wootten offers a glimpse through De La Mare’s coruscating lens, and discusses how De La Mere invites readers to explore realms beyond the ordinary, both in his work and that of his contemporaries.
This illuminating talk and reading will delve into the profound connections between De La Mare’s poetry and the Romantic poets and even with 20th Century writers such as Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.
