4 Oct 2018

Abstract
This seminar will offer the opportunity to acquire basic knowledge concerning Irish and Galician contemporary poetry written by women. It will focus on the love discourse in the work of various prominent voices and its relationship with certain spaces to help us understand how they relate with each other and the changes produced in that relationship during the last decades.  About the speaker

Provisionally entitled The Extreme Region: Love Discourse in Women’s Contemporary Poetry in Galicia and Ireland, her research analyses contemporary women’s love poetry in both countries, paying special attention to the construction of identity and gender within the love discourse in these particular places.
