Oxford University searches for new professor of poetry
January 22, 2009
Oxford University today launches the search for its next professor of poetry, as current incumbent Christopher Ricks - the literary critic known for his writings on the poetry of Bob Dylan - comes to the end of his five-year tenure in May. The holder of the post, seen as the most important in poetry behind that of poet laureate, is voted for by Oxford graduates and comes with a small salary of £6,901.
Names already being discussed include British poets Carol Ann Duffy, Andrew Motion, Simon Armitage, Jon Stallworthy, JH Prynne and John Wilkinson, along with Australian poet Les Murray, US poet Jorie Graham and New Zealand native Fleur Adcock. Read the full article here.
