Academic Beards

Professor Hill was elected as Oxford’s 44th Professor of Poetry in June 2010. A graduate of Oxford, Hill read English at Keble College and his prolific and much honoured career as a poet has been accompanied by a series of academic posts at Bristol, Leeds, Cambridge and Boston University. While at Boston he was, with outgoing Professor of Poetry Christopher Ricks, a founding co-director of the university’s Editorial Institute. Geoffrey Hill gives a rare interview on Newsnight:
