    9.4 Lisa Jarnot: "Is That A Real Poem Or Did You Just Make It Up?"

    Welcome to the fourth and final episode of Season Nine of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Nine is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Lisa Jarnot during her tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Lisa Jarnot’s autobiographical lectures are an intimate, uncompromising, and generous glimpse into a remarkable life in poetry. Throughout these talks, Jarnot explores what it means to be a woman in a male-centered experimental tradition, to have white privilege and to write poetry. She examines the prophetic tradition in American poetry as inflected through counter-cultural spirituality, investigates the generative tensions at the intersections of formal and informal, traditional and experimental; develops relationships between ‘deep gossip’ and ecstatic connectedness; and asks, finally, what does it mean for the poet to act as prophet in envisioning a new heaven and a new earth. Today we'll hear “Is That A Real Poem Or Did You Just Make It Up?” given December 9, 2021, in partnership with Portland Literary Arts, via Zoom. Jarnot’s book based on her BWLS lectures, titled, Four Lectures, is outMay 7 from Wave Books, and is available here.

    8.5 Rachel Zucker: "Poetry and Photography"

    Welcome to the fifth episode of Season Eight of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast. Season Eight is comprised of lectures written and delivered by Rachel Zucker during her tenure as a Bagley Wright Lecturer. Rachel Zucker’s lectures ask questions about obedience, wrongness, and decorum. Like her poetry, the lectures are borne from a long lineage of female writers and artists who ask What now? What next? and Am I allowed to do this? To break that? Rachel considers the history of Confessional poetry, the ethical consequences of representing real people in art, and the other great medium that has influenced her work—photography—exploring how it taught her to look for, but also question, truth and permission in art. Today we'll hear "Poetry and Photography," given March 9, 2016, in partnership with Yale University. This talk includes many references to the aesthetics of photographers with whom Zucker identifies or does not identify. As accompaniment to this lecture, we offer the following list–by no means comprehensive–with links to some of these photographers' works. book review of Robert Frank's The Americans, at Lens Culture Walker Evans, at artnet Henri Cartier-Bresson, at the International Center of Photography Edward Weston, at Weston Gallery Ansel Adams, at artnet Roger Fenton's Valley of the Shadow of Death at Public Domain Review The Dead of Antietam, by Mathew Brady and associates Robert Capa, at artnet Dorothea Lange, at MoMA William Eggleston at Eggleston Art Foundation Sally Mann Visit us at our website, www.bagleywrightlectures.org, for more information about Bagley Wright lecturers, as well as links to supplementary materials on each lecturer’s archive page, including selected writings.
