I Speak to You: The Nature of the Speaker and Addressee in Contemporary Poetry
PGR Supervisors: Dr Kerry Featherstone and Barbara Cooke
Caspar Wort is researching differences in engagement with contemporary poems with variation in who is speaking and to whom they speak.
His research uses questionnaires to gauge how readers perceive the speaker and implied reader of a range of poems, both from collections published since 2019, and with his own poems written for a specific response.- ‘Constants’ published in Magma Poetry 84: Physics 27
