Jan Westwood leads a guided exploration of John Donne's poetry, considering why the work of a poet born in 1572 remains relevant to today's readers. The session looks at Donne's drama, wit and paradox in his treatment of love, sex, death and religion, and at T.S. Eliot's admiration for his original imagery.
