The Basil Bunting Poetry Centre and St. Aidans College Durham present: The Basil Bunting Centenary Lecture by Professor Peter Makin Kansai University, Japan "Silent, Accurate Lips": Meaning and Precision in Bunting's Work A Public Lecture in the Lindisfarne Centre, St. Aidan's College, Durham University, at 6.30pm on Wednesday March 1st, 2000. All are welcome. Bunting described scholarly criticism as "painful... necessary policework" - but made an exception for Peter Makin's thorough and lucid work on Ezra Pound. Makin's writing on Bunting is certainly amongst the best in the steadily growing field, and includes _Bunting: The Shaping of his Verse_ (Clarendon Press 1992) and his recent edition of Bunting's lectures _Basil Bunting on Poetry_ (Johns Hopkins 1999).
