Today I revisited Macbeth's conversation with Lady Macbeth in Act 3 Sc 2. This passage is VERY revealing and worth exploring in detail, and to glean some little-used quotes! This is from his "We have scorch'd the snake" speech: he complains about "terrible dreams". 1/

Right, time for our next thread on the poetry in the Power and Conflict cluster. This time, we are thinking about Carol Rumens’ ‘The Emigrée’. This time, I’m going to go through the poem sentence by sentence, and think about its ‘blurriness’. 🧵

🧵 In my interview with poet Beatrice Garland, she discusses her poem ‘Kamikaze’, delving into the inspiration behind it, the perspective it's written from, and how it relates to themes of power and conflict. #poetry #Kamikaze

Okay, let’s do another thread on the Power and Conflict poems. This time, we’ll be talking about Imtiaz Dharker’s ‘Tissue’ 🧻📚👷🏢 In particular, we focus on the power of paper and poetry, and the idea that some things are better if they *don’t* last. 🧵

Okay, time for our next ‘Power and Conflict’ thread. This time, we’ll be talking about Jane Weir’s ‘Poppies’ 🌺😔 In particular, I want to think about ‘Poppies’ as a poem in which different layers are flattened into one – like felt. 🧵
