You are invited to celebrate the acclaimed poetics scholarship of Professor Stephen Fredman at an event held in honor of his retirement: “Thinking Poetically.” The event will be held April 7, 2017, from 1:00 to 5:00 pm at the Notre Dame Conference Center at McKenna Hall (room 210-214), followed by a reception.
The symposium will begin with short talks on present and future directions in poetics scholarship by Notre Dame poetry scholars, and will be followed by a celebratory reading by local poets, and a keynote panel with new scholarship by Peter Nicholls (NYU), Linda Kinnahan (Duquesne), and Jonathan Stalling (University of Oklahoma).
