Cataphasis, Redemption and a Mucker Fog Hilary Davies looks at the poetry of George Mackay Brown and Patrick Kavanagh through the lens of two key texts by the modernist poet and writer, David Jones: 'the Preface to The Anathemata' and 'Art and Sacrament'. All three writers were Catholic: the faith they had in common is inextricably bound up with their poetic vision, in which language becomes the medium used both to express the divine presence and to reaffirm the redemptive workings of God in an immanent and imperfect world. This event took place on 24 November 2017 and is part of the VHI 2017-18 series on Grammars of Wonder. For more details visit: http://www.vhi.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/events
