JOINT AMSN / MSIA ANNUAL CONFERENCE

NOVEMBER 19-21, 2026

In 1916, interviewed for the New York Times, the poet-diplomat Robert Underwood Johnson took up the “new movement” in poetry: “There is an intoxication about the way our contemporary poets fling themselves into a dauntless quest for self-expression.” “Alas!,” he went on, “this is just the trouble! For intoxication is no more desirable in poetry than in the household. Intoxication is not the state of mind in which, as Matthew Arnold says, one may ‘see life clearly and see it whole’.”

MLA 2027: Wallace Stevens’s Animals

updated: 
Tuesday, January 20, 2026 - 1:26pm
The Wallace Stevens Society
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, March 15, 2026

Wallace Stevens’s poetry abounds with animals, from the bucks and firecat of “Earthy Anecdote” to the “gold-feathered bird” of “Of Mere Being.” This session invites papers on Stevens’s animals and animal imagery across his oeuvre. How do animals in Stevens’s poems reflect or complicate his sense of human perception, subjectivity, and the environment? In what ways do they trouble distinctions between the human and the nonhuman, the domestic and the wild, the material and the symbolic?

 

Proposals might consider individual poems or sequences, the wider bestiary of The Collected Poems, or Stevens’s animals in relation to earlier, contemporaneous, or later writers.

 

Possible topics include but are not limited to:
