(dis)junctions: morphing the written word (april 11-12, 2003)
http://english.ucr.edu/gsea/disjunctions/index1.html

My Mind, These Words, Your Colony

How does the generic marker of poetry--in its formula and age of
marginality--affirm the lives of its postcolonial makers? Using the poetry
of Ivon Gordon Vailakis & Amitava Kumar (our keynote speakers) Leslie Marmon
Silko, Derek Walcott, Seamus Heaney, Michael Ondaatje, Wole Soyinka or
others, from a Jewish diaspora to an African one, discuss how poetry's
marginality mirrors the life of its own authors. Is there a project of
resistance within them? Or is there a sense of diminishing returns in a
genre often left unread?
