Poetry and the Metaphysical "I": A Lecture by Dorothea Lasky | Woodberry Poetry Room

Dorothea Lasky explores the subject of "Poetry and the Metaphysical 'I'" in a wide range of poetries from Ovid to Frank O'Hara, from Eileen Myles to Nicki Minaj. Her talk was sponsored by the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry, which offers poets the opportunity to explore in depth their own thinking on the subject of poetry and poetics, and to create lasting works of criticism and poetics that will help current practitioners in the art of poetry, along with scholars and general readers, more fully understand poetry as it is written and read in our time.
Co-sponsored by the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry and the Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard University.
Date: October 10, 2013, at the Emerson Chapel, Harvard Divinity School.
