Claire Hélie is a Senior Lecturer at Lille 3 University – Charles de Gaulle where she teaches English to students who are specialising in Performing Arts, Film Studies, Music and Dance. Her research is focussed on contemporary British poetry, more precisely on the way the North of England is construed as a poetic space that can be sung, but also performed, filmed and photographed. She has published a few articles on Basil Bunting, Ted Hughes, Tony Harrison and Simon Armitage.
