AATSEEL Workshop: Collective Analysis of Contemporary Poetry

[Boris Wolfson]

Dear Colleagues,

The inaugural Workshop on Collective Analysis of Contemporary Poetry at this 
year's AATSEEL meeting in San Francisco will focus on the work of ANNA AL'CHUK 
(1955-2008), poet, visual poet, photographer, exhibit organizer, web master, 
feminist theorist, and performance artist, author of five books of poetry. The 
session, which will take place on Sunday, December 28, from 1:30 to 3:30 PM, is 
organized in her memory.

The purpose of this event is to involve all those in attendance - organizers 
and audience members - in a sustained group reading / interpretation of a 
series of poems.  Texts will be handed out during the meeting, and no previous 
familiarity with Al'chuk's work is expected, but those interested in attending 
can take a look at some of the poems we will consider here:
