Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, in A Chorus of Ears Denise Riley meditates upon the emphasis we place upon the persona of the poet, relegating their actual poetry to a second-order importance. Prize culture and the primacy of the poet - as opposed to the poem - transform criticism into a beauty contest, constraining our ability to meet the lyric on its own terms.
