    WAR POETRY: SOLDIERS, VETERANS, PROTESTERS, NONCOMBATANTS

    Center for the Study of the Korean War
    Graceland University
    Independence, Missouri, Campus

    February 23-24, 2001

    The Center for the Study of the Korean War and the National Archives and
    Records Administration-Central Plains Region (Kansas City, MO) invite
    papers on any and all aspects of poetry informed by the experience of war.

    We are especially interested in Rudyard Kipling and the reading and
    writing of soldier poetry, the work of women writers, and the verse of
    African American veterans. We are also interested in papers that address
    the rise and fall of popular poetry in nineteenth and twentieth century
    America and how this affected the production of war poetry.

    Keynote speaker and guest poets to be announced.

    Please send a 100-200 word abstract by January 1, 2001, to:
