Robert Lowell session, American Literature Association, 21-24 May 2025 in Boston

The Robert Lowell Society welcomes proposals for one session at the American Literature Association's annual conference (Boston, MA, 21–24 May 2025).

We are especially interested in proposals that consider Lowell's work in light of today's "death studies." For example: Lowell’s own elegies, his memories of and reconstructions of predecessors and peers, his cemetery poems, his care poems, his commemorative publishing projects, his imitations of elegies by others, his prose about others. Panelists might also consider poems about Lowell, including but not limited to elegies. 

We also invite proposals on any other aspect of Lowell's work.

Proposals are due by January 10, 2025. Please send Greg Kość (grzegorz.kosc@uw.edu.pl) and Calista McRae (mcrae@njit.edu) a .doc file including: your name and affiliation, the title of your proposed talk, and a short (200-word) abstract.
