OUR FEATURED POETS DISCUSS HUMOUR IN POETRY, IF THEY USE IT HOW AND WHY – SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT TPF 25
Ever wonder where poems come from? Poe-trees.
What did one poem say to the other? You’re so verse-tile!
But seriously now, poetry does have a reputation for being serious, for dealing with difficult subjects. That does not mean that serious poems cannot use humour, or that all poems need to be serious. Our poets will discuss whether they use humour in their work, how and why. Exploring the role humour has to play in poetry and how it can be used to provoke a range of emotions.
