Growing Poems from Thought
If Heidigger was right to assert that ‘we never come to thoughts, they come to us’, or William Butler Yeats ‘… all thought becomes image’, then what could create more fertile ground for poetry than a roomful of poets wrestling with and responding to the ideas of great thinkers? You’ll look at selected short papers by thinkers from a range of disciplines – Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, Physics, Medicine and Astronomy – and formulate your own poetic responses to them. ‘The only means of strengthening one’s intellect is to make up one’s mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.’ John Keats.
