Matthew Clegg will be leading a talk and workshop on the poetry and poetics of Derek Walcott – one of the most respected poets to emerge from the Caribbean, and a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Matthew Clegg is a poet and lecturer in creative writing at Derby University. His books include West North East and The Navigators, both published by Longbarrow Press. A new collection – Cazique – is in preparation, and will explore deception and self-deception in a world in thrall to truth, but unable to live by its strictures.
