Close Readings in a Virtual Space: Jennifer Bartlett
This free, participatory event (taking place via Zoom) features Jennifer Bartlett, one of our favorite poets, leading an intimate, virtual group reading-through/thinking through of “Report from Liberty Street” by Charles Bernstein. Neither explicitly teaching nor explaining, our special guest poet will serve as your expert tour-guide to explore this featured poem as a group.
Whether already well-versed in the “close reading” of poems or having never been quite sure you’ve been “getting it,” CLOSE READINGS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE provides a digital gathering for taking a refreshing deep dive into poetry.
Actively participate or simply listen and learn!
The event will last about an hour and conclude with a brief reading of poetry by our special guest poet.
Jennifer Bartlett is the author of Autobiography/Anti-Autobiography (theenk Books, 2014), lullaby without any music (Chax Press, 2012), and Derivative of the Moving Image (University of New Mexico Press, 2007). She is co-founder and board member of Zoeglossia. Her forthcoming biography on Larry Eigner, Sustaining Air, will be published by the University of Alabama Press, July 2023.
