Talk by Allan Pryce-Jones

The technique of exile has a special relevance for our times, but it is a technique we in England have had little need to cultivate. This is a circumstance for which we have every reason to be grateful, but, the speaker suggests, it has the dangers, for the English writer has tended to cling to his 'sense of belonging' at the expense of the 'vital need to explore.' Alan Pryce-Jones considers these points with reference to Arthur Koestler's recently published autobiography Arrow in the Blue.

Last of three talks by Erich Heller
Erich Heller discusses what he believes to be the distinctive problems of poetry in the modern age: the emergence of the notion of ' absolute poetry,' the ever-increasing emphasis on the creativeness of the poetic imagination, and the relationship of this kind of poetry to ordinary experience.
