Description
In this audiovisual recording from Wednesday, March 23, 1983, as part of the 14th Annual UND Writers Conference: “The Centennial Year,” Carolyn Forché, Czeslaw Milosz, and Joseph Brodsky participate in a panel called “Politics in Poetry.” The panelists discuss the intersection of poetry and politics, the separation of poetry and politics, Forché's experience with political poetry in Spanish, the responsibility of the poet to society as a spokesperson beyond political state, and self-censorship for political writing. The panelists also respond to audience questions about notions of inherent politics in art, which prompts Brodsky to recite W. H. Auden's “Sept. 1, 1939,” the distinction of political writing and political reading regarding state involvement in art, touching on political journalism and bipartisanism on an international scale.
