Harrison forward

Article Abstract:

Tony Harrison's poetry has strong, formal discipline and strong, direct language. Like most poets, he writes for the theatre. He tries to reach people who do not usually read poetry. He feels poetry should be read with the accent of the reader. The Mystery plays were written for a Northern dialect. He rewrote the passion story with God speaking the same language as those he was talking to. He believes in the power of drama rather than the power of religion.
