Poetry professorship for Christopher Ricks
Christopher Ricks has been appointed Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, the most coveted poetry post in the UK after poet laureate. Literary critic Professor Ricks was the only non-poet in the shortlist and is known as much for his love of Bob Dylan’s lyrics as for Milton’s epics, reports The Guardian.
