READING DUNCAN READING:
ESSAYS ON THE POETICS OF DERIVATION
 
(Edited by Stephen Collis & Graham Lyons)
 
 
“No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His
significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the
dead poets and artists”
 -T.S. Eliot, “Tradition and the Individual Talent”
 
“I draw my ‘own’ thought in reading Dante as from a well-spring.”
  -Robert Duncan
 
Robert Duncan’s penchant for referring to himself as a ‘derivative” poet is

“Why Study Women’s Poetry?”
A One-Day Conference at St. Francis College, 180 Remsen Street, Brooklyn,
New York

April 5, 2008

Call for Papers

Decades after feminist critics began considering women’s poetry as a genre
separate from poetry written by men, the debate continues as to whether we
should study poetry according to the gender of the writer.

Translation in Literature

Fine literature does and should span centuries and continents. But have
you ever played telephone? Have you ever played operator?

What is lost in the translation of ancient texts or even contemporary
texts in different languages? How can the poems of Turgenev or the
initially oral tales of, say, The Iliad retain their meaning through time
and space? And if something is lost in translation, why must we strive
for transmission in this ever-shrinking, wi-fy connected world?

Interdisciplinary panel, paper, and creative submissions are invited for
the 14th annual Southwest Graduate English Symposium at Arizona State
University, Tempe, AZ, held Feb. 29-March 1, 2008.
