Event Type

What is literary influence? How can we re-envision traditional models of unilateral, hierarchical modes of influence to an understanding of influence that evolves from more organic, rhizomic, dialogical means. A concept of influence that may include friendships, collaborations, and the experiences of one's material life as part of its nexus.  Four poets will discuss their understanding of poetic "influence"  and lineage through their work in the new collection Other Influences: An Untold Story of Feminist Avant-garde Poetry.
