Please join us on Saturday, November 9, at 5:30 pm in Salon B for “Commemorating Marjorie Perloff,” a tribute to the work and life of poetry scholar Marjorie Perloff. The session includes such important poetry experts as Susan McCabe, Steven Gould Axelrod, Aldon Lynn Nielsen, and Steven Minas.
This commemorative session is an opportunity for scholars and writers to present papers celebrating how her work has influenced contemporary poetics. Our contributors will address specific texts that had a strong influence upon their own work, and explore her work’s impact on larger questions of poetry and form including her specific dialogues with modernist and contemporary poetry.
