lonely PhD searching for people working on similar topic - POETRY
Hi,
I'm an Austrian PhD student writing about poetry in performance in the UK, and it's been a bit lonely so far because I haven't found anyone to discuss my work with. Does anyone know other PhD students who are writing about poetry in English? Or does anyone know how I could find them? Write to every single department in every single UK college?
Cheers,

Julia N

An Austrian student named Ju
Just didn’t know what to do
High and low did she seek
For someone she could speak
To regarding the work that they do

I’m sorry I can’t help this time
For science my work is, not rhyme
But I hope that you find
One of similar mind
As research is a long lonely climb

Perhaps write to those in your field
At conferences keep your eyes peeled
And hopefully fate
Will find you a mate
Fellow researchers will be revealed!

[Good luck - please forgive me for the terrible ‘poem’!]

You are all too generous with your praise but thank you! It's rather in the style of Yoda but was a welcome distraction from the paper I'm supposed to be writing

Welcome to the boards MistaG

Ann, thank you for proving that PhD students do not sit around all day faffing about and not doing proper, serious, academic work!
