Assembling Identities Postgraduate ConferenceUniversity of Glasgow

Poetry, and in fact all art, entails at the outset a willed loss of identity, a giving up of fixed structure so as to be able to go beyond the inherited possibilities which even when masquerading as possibilities are mostly straight-jackets.
