[Wgcp-whc] reminder of Friday's session and more news

[Richard Deming]

Dear Poeticians,

this is email is packed with news.  First, a reminder that we will be  
having a session this FRiday at 3-5 in Rm 116 of the Whitney  
Humanities Center to discuss the work of Lyn Hejinian.  We'll be  
concentrating on our discussion on Saga/Circus, her most recent book.   
She'll then read the 13th at 4 PM in the Beinecke Library.  She'll  
join us the next day for a special session of the WGCP.

Also, here I'll paste some info on some upcoming events:

  Patricia C. Willis, Curator emerita  of the Yale Collection of  
American Literature (who once led a discussion of the work of Moore  
for the WGCP), has recently launched a lively blog dedicated to the  
work of American modernist poet Marianne C. Moore (1887-1972): http://moore123.wordpress.com/ 
. The site is “dedicated to postings and conversation about the poet’s  
work and to gathering available poem texts, essays, and other  
scholarly materials from internet sources and individuals. Please  
submit articles, bibliographic references, links, and other useful  
information.”

Please alert interested students and colleagues.

+++++++++++++
  And our very own Jennifer Gross sent the following celebration of  
poetics and spring. Think British Romanticism meets Mike Kelley meets  
LL Cool J.

And finally, I'll attach a CFP for a symposium to be held a year from  
now dealing with Ron Silliman's ALPHABET, which the WGCP read and  
discussed last year.


bringing you all the poetics that fits the print,
Richard Deming
