'There's Shakespeare, there's Dante, and there's Du Fu: these are the poets who created the very values by which poetry is judged; they defined the emotional vocabulary of their culture.' Stephen Owen.   In this free illustrated talk Professor Michael Wood OBE, BBC presenter, author, and SACU President, will follow the poet Du Fu’s journey around China – which took place in the midst of one of the worst wars in Chinese history – and explore why his poetry is still treasured by the Chinese people today.   Register on Eventbrite to attend here   Presented by Kensington Wade School […]
