“Poetry: What’s Next?” That’s the title of the first in a
new series of critical talks to take place at the legendary Grolier Poetry Book
Shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts (6 Plympton Street, to be precise). I’ll have the good fortune to be a part
of it, speaking alongside Ben Mazer of Boston University and Stephen Burt of
Harvard.
The event kicks
off at 7:00 pm on Friday March 14th. Hope you can come by—but if you can’t, fret not: the
proceedings will be published by the Battersea
Review, and then in a new series of critical chapbooks put out by the book
shop.
A day before the Grolier event I’ll be speaking on related
topics at the New England Conservatory, but you’ll have to pull strings to get
in: it’s a students-only event.
Buying me a drink afterward, however, is a proposition open to the
public.
