My ASAP16 seminar is Friday (with thanks to @sarahmdowling1.bsky.social and Claire Grandy). Come on by!
A picture of a schedule with the following abstract: This seminar celebrates the publication of our special issue of the journal differences, "Lyric Beyond Containment," forthcoming in Fall 2025. In alignment with ASAP/16's Worldmaking/Worldbreaking theme, we gather to discuss how lyric tropes-the speaking "I," the address to an absent other, or the brief glimpse of finely-wrought feeling-prove fruitful in theorizing material, historical, political, and literary forms of subjectivity, personhood, relationality, and reciprocity. Whereas these tropes are often yoked to the decontextualized figure of the poetic speaker, we suggest that they are vital tools for moving beyond notions of the poem as a closed aesthetic object, held apart from its world. Moreover, we suggest that these tropes occur across a broad range of genres and media, which are themselves illuminated through engagement with lyric theory. The seminar features authors included in the special issue as well as scholars and practicing poets who share our interests in lyric theory.
