CFP: Dickinson and Contemporary Poetry (Hawaii) (7/4/04; EDIS, 7/30/04-8/1/04)

From: Lesley Wheeler (WheelerLM@wlu.edu)
Date: Tue Jun 15 2004 - 16:39:44 EDT


Call for papers:

Amplifications: Contemporary Poets in Conversation with Dickinson
Realms of Amplitude: A Conference of the Emily Dickinson International
Society
July 30th to August 1st, 2004 in Hilo, Hawaii
http://home.hawaii.rr.com/jmorse/Conference/

One member of this accepted panel has dropped out and we therefore seek
proposals for an additional paper. This panel investigates how
Dickinson's notion of amplitude illuminates contemporary poetry.
Writers with widely divergent backgrounds and strategies share
Dickinson's attitudes towards language, sexuality, and the physical
world. The papers gathered here discover those affiliations among
Dickinson and her successors in the United States and Ireland.
1. "Land, Flesh, Spirit, Body: Dickinson in Conversation with Emerging
Native Women Poets"
Janet McAdams, English, Kenyon College
2. "'Immoderate Things': Emily Dickinson and Medbh McGuckian"
Lesley Wheeler, English, Washington and Lee University

Please send proposals to Lesley Wheeler (wheelerlm@wlu.edu) by July 4th
2004; we will respond promptly. Proposals should include a title and
brief description of your paper as well as your contact information and
institutional affiliation.
