Melodies and Modernisms

Friday 21 December 2007 - Ghent University, Belgium

The conference is devoted to the intersections of Anglo-American poetry with the notion of melody in its various guises. It seeks to explore poetic encounters with actual music as well as the ways in which poetry approaches melody on a more metaphorical level.
