Mayday on Holderness is a highly significant poem in the oeuvre of Ted Hughes. This poem marks several firsts for Hughes: it is his initial venture into the realm of ecopoetry, his first exploration of free verse, and his initial attempt to grapple with his early reputation as a "poet of violence". However, the true importance of this poem lies in its profound exploration of the major theme that would pervade Hughes's future work - his understanding of the Universe as an everlasting flow of creation and destruction, a dynamic interplay of Love and Strife. In this exploration, Hughes posits that humans must discover their place and purpose within this cosmic framework.
For a captivating and enlightening experience, join Steve Ely, an esteemed poet and the Director of the Ted Hughes Network at the University of Huddersfield. Ely will engage audiences in a talk, close reading, and discussion devoted to this seminal poem. With his expertise and extensive knowledge of Hughes's work, Ely will offer valuable insights and perspectives.
The workshop will take place at the University of Huddersfield's Queensgate Campus on April 18, 2024, from 7pm to 9pm. Tickets are priced at £12 (£5 for concessions) and are free for both University of Huddersfield staff and students, as well as essential carers.
