Innocence and experience
Article Abstract:
Classical poetic forms impose good discipline on poetry, according to poet Charles Causley. He has an easy relationship with the poetic movements of the 20th century, but has always used the classic forms of lyric, ballad and sonnet, permeating them with melancholy and mystery. He read extensively from an early age, but as a child felt that poetry, music, art and literature were not really part of his life. He is modest about his own achievements, and will not speculate about whether he will become the next poet laureate.

Full of feeling
Article Abstract:
It is very hard to raise public consciousness about poetry, according to John Fuller, professor of English Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, and owner of the Sycamore Press. He has been personally responsible for encouraging many poets, and has welcomed changes in poetry's profile over recent decades. He is able to deal with the most demanding poetic forms, and has published 13 verse collections, six novels, critical works, children's books and an anthology of love poetry.

A poet ... but who knows it?
Article Abstract:
True poetry can be very hard to understand, according to poet John Hegley, who believes that his work is closer to verse than to poetry. He concedes that he may act as a route into true poetry, especially for younger readers, but this does not make his own work any closer to poetry. Much of his work draws on his childhood and early adult experiences, reflecting the many years he took to find maturity and stability. He now has an act which includes songs, music and slide shows.
