This free, participatory event (taking place via Zoom) features Rae Armantrout, one of our favorite poets, leading an intimate, virtual group reading-through/thinking through of two “Language Poets Later”: “You, Part I” by Ron Silliman and “Ponderable” by Lyn Hejinian. Neither explicitly teaching nor explaining, our special guest poet will serve as your expert tour-guide to explore these featured poems as a group.
Whether already well-versed in the “close reading” of poems or having never been quite sure you’ve been “getting it,” CLOSE READINGS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE provides a digital gathering for taking a refreshing deep dive into poetry.
Actively participate or simply listen and learn!
The event will last about an hour and conclude with a brief reading of poetry by our special guest poet.
