'[Armitage] blended his down-to-earth, often flippant demeanor with
a brilliantly understated, original and captivating address, which
never strayed into pretentiousness or self-importance' Oxford
Culture Review A Vertical Art gathers the expansive and spirited
public lectures delivered by the Poet Laureate during his acclaimed
four-year tenure as Oxford University Professor of Poetry. Querying
the facile and obscure ends of the poetry spectrum, these are more
than anything personal essays that enquire into the volatile and
disputed definitions of poetry from the point of view of a
dedicated reader, a practising writer and a lifelong champion of
its power and potential.
