[Wgcp-whc] Welish--10/9, additional readings, books, and events

[Richard Deming]

Dear Poetics seminarians,

Marjorie Welish will be joining us on Friday Oct 9 for a discussion of  
her work.  We have just made available an interview between Welish and  
Judith Goldman, as well as Welish's piece that was a recent George  
Oppen memorial lecture.  The interview especially is useful, touching  
on a number of issues raised during out initial engagement with her  
latest book.

These are available through a link found here:

Also, 9 more copies of Welish's Isle of Signatories have arrived.   
These are found at our boxes in the main reception area of the Whitney  
Humanities Center.  Also, copies of Peter  Gizzi's Outernationale have  
arrived and are at the same place.  People should grab a copy of that  
as well.  However, as ever, we ask that only people who think that it  
is probable that they'll make one if not both sessions devoted to  
Gizzi should take copies.

Finally, I wanted to note two upcoming events that are related to the  
WGContemporary Poetics.  On Oct 8 at 12.20 the poet and translator  
Cole Swensen (a frequent visitor to our sessions) will be reading at  
the Yale Art Gallery.  Information is available here:

Also on Friday Nov 12th and Sat the 13th at the Beinecke Library,  
there will be a conference on Italian and Russian futurism.  Marjorie  
Perloff, Stanford University, will provide the keynote address: The  
Audacity of Hope: Futurist Aura and National Difference in the Early  
Manifestos.

  Paolo Valesio of Columbia University, one of the WGCP's members-at- 
large will speak on The 'Venice Preserved' by F.T. Marinetti
Paolo Valesio, Columbia University

A program of events and registration is available here:

And as a reminder: the Working Group in Contemporary poetics The  
Working Group in Contemporary Poetry and
Poetics meets every other Friday at 3.00 PM in room 116 at the Whitney  
Humanities Center at Yale University to
discuss problems and issues of contemporary poetry within  
international alternative and /or avant-garde traditions of
lyric poetry. All are welcome to attend.

Onward,
Richard Deming, Minister of Information
