Lunch and Learn- Making Poetry Matter: Poetry and the Archive in the 21st Century with Joanne Diaz
Thu Dec 10 12:10:00 2015
Archives provide poets with a way to capture the past and retool it for their own uses. Many poets have turned to archives to exhume some of history’s most difficult narratives of race, gender, and violence central to the American experience. Joanne Diaz, Associate Professor of English, IWU, will read and discuss selections from Martha Collins’ Blue Front to better understand her use of the archive and how she creates a poetics of engagement.
