Hill wins Oxford poetry post

Geoffrey Hill has been elected 바카라사이트 University of Oxford’s new professor of poetry

六月 18, 2010

A past winner of 바카라사이트 Hawthornden Prize and 바카라사이트 Whitbread Award, Professor Hill secured over 800 votes more than his nearest rival, 바카라사이트 Beat poet Michael Horovitz.

More than 2,500 votes were cast in person and online to elect a successor to Christopher Ricks. Professor Hill, an Oxford alumnus, will be 바카라사이트 44th poet in 바카라사이트 role since it was created in 1708. A contest was held last year but 바카라사이트 winner, Ruth Padel, stepped down after it emerged that she had contacted a newspaper with allegations about a rival candidate, Derek Walcott, who had previously been accused of sexual harassment.
