Description
This audiovisual recording from March 23, 1983 as part of the 14th annual UND Writers Conference: “The Centennial Year” features Carolyn Forché, Czeslaw Milosz, and Joseph Brodsky forming the panel “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. They respond to audience questions about notions of inherent politics in art, which prompts Brodsky to recite W. H. Auden's “Sept. 1, 1939,” and the panelists further discuss the distinction of political writing and political reading regarding state involvement in art, touching on political journalism and bipartisanism on an international scale.
