| Asemic Poet Jeff Hilson's Collection |
Many thanks to everyone involved in New Horizons - we had a very high standard of Plenary lectures and papers given, ranging from Cockney Keats to Steampunk, wordless Asemic poetry to Children's Artwork (with everything else in between).
The aim of the conference was to look in a new way at the humanities, to blend disciplines and break new ground in theory and practice. A glance at the programme is evidence that the challenge was well taken up and we are excited to seeing what comes of it.
A special thanks to the English and Creative Writing Department who supported us in more ways than one, and especially all those who chaired panels.
We are indebted to the National Library of Wales whose facilities made the conference as comfortable as it was.
A special thanks to the Arts Centre Bookshop for hosting the MA publication The Lunar Attic launch and for the large range of titles they stock, including books by all the plenary speakers.
A conference is always a collaborative affair and it has been exciting to bring together writers and theorists to discuss their work and be inspired by others. Although the conference has closed, it has not ended as ideas stimulated from the past three days will go on to weave their way into pieces not yet written.
We look forward to next year - hopefully see you there.
