By admin in conferences, event, poetry reading, presentations

liberal arts for a fragile planetI’m doing a poetry reading on Thursday, March 23 to kick off the Liberal Arts for a Fragile Planet conference at Westmont College this weekend. 7pm, Hieronymous Lounge. Paul Willis will also be reading.

The reading (and all the other plenary sessions) are free and open to the public. Full schedule here.

For those attending the conference, I’ll be presenting my paper “A New Formalism for the Anthropocene: Portable Forms for Interdisciplinary Conversations” at concurrent session 3 on Saturday. Hope to see you there!

Poetics of Drought

drought1Omniverse, the online magazine affiliated with Omnidawn, will be publishing our AWP 2016 panel “Poetics of Drought” in three installments. Read the first part here, featuring an introduction by me and an essay and poem by Rusty Morrison.

Get the highlights from Poetry Magazine here. 

“This panel proposes that the poem is entangled with this very materiality and that the formal constraints and affordances of drought bear upon the poetic form, which in turn can reconfigure the means by which we engage the conditions of this ecological crisis.”

Update: read part two “Notes toward a Poetics of Drought” by Matthew Cooperman and part three “Beyond a Shadow of a Drought” by Brenda Hillman.
