Modernist Poetics and Queer Fruit

Clark University, Higgins Lounge, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor, 36 Maywood Street
Worcester, MA 01610 United States

In this talk, Clark University professor Elizabeth Blake (English) focuses on T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and H. D.’s “Priapus” to discuss the way modernist poets disrupt lyric traditions by setting intertextuality and phenomenological referentiality in tension in order to explore queer experience.
