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.
Timur Hammond of Syracuse University will present “The Transmitted Past: Toward a Rethinking of Geography, Temporality, and Community.”
