Professor of Poetry: vote now!
13 May 2015
The candidates have been announced for the next Professor of Poetry, and, uniquely in the university, this appointment is made by an election of Oxford MAs. You need to register to vote before 8 June, and make your choice before 17 June.
The candidates are Simon Armitage, Ian Gregson, Sean Haldane, Wole Soyinka, and A.E. Stallings. Hertford is well-represented among the nominators for the various candidates, maintaining our links with the Professorship. Paul Muldoon, Honorary Fellow, was Professor of Poetry from 1999-2004.
