7 pm: Re-Turning: Movement and Repetition in Verse
In poetry, forms like the villanelle, pantoum, sestina, and rondeau circle back while moving forward. Their odd and insistent amplifications suggest an ambulance stuck in traffic: something at once frozen and emergent. As such, these forms lend themselves to all manner of contradictory impulses--from memory projects to secret wish fulfillments. Students from Professor Ralph Savarese’s poetry writing seminar will read poems that find their life in repetition, re-turning, and re-turning."
