SECOND NIGHT OF THE 2020 SEASON OF GRAHAM’S SUTTON HOUSE POETRY NIGHTS

Consummate showman and stand-up comic, the Ovid we still enjoy 2000 years on is a spellbinding re-teller of myths and an agony uncle who gives us a mirror in which to see ourselves all at sea in relationship. Don’t make an epic out of Love, he says. I’m not. Besides, your attitudes, if they’re anything like mine, need debunking. Be my guest.

And before we know it, our attitudes have been debunked, for the better. His brilliance is that of a metrical gymnast who makes us gasp at the outrageous virtuosity of his mastery of form and content and at how naturally he speaks to our own times.

“A wonderful lecture, both informative and entertaining”. I was fascinated to learn about the forgotten female poets who translated him”.

Sally Jenner
