  • The movement of the poem in the 1960s

    Open AccessBronac FerranARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews2017

    Poetic form in the 1960s in Britain, and elsewhere, was affected by trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural influences that came fully into focus after the end of the Second World War. These were substantially iterated and theorized throughout the 1950s, paving the way for radical experiments in language during the following decade. Drawing on Paul Celan’s observation that poetry maintains itself ‘at its own extremity’ (expanded by Lyon [1983. “Poe…

  • Sheltering from the Storm—Artistic Residencies and Environmental Crisis

    Bronac FerranARTICLELeonardo2012

    Conditions of crisis can be fertile soil for social transformation. The Lovely Weather project in Donegal, northwest Ireland, brought artists into residence in localities where changing socio-economic and awareness of shifting environmental conditions opened up space for different cooperative relations.
