Post-Crisis Militant Word

Editor Brian Ang and Jeff Derksen are co-leading a seminar at Poetics: (The Next) 25 Years entitled "Post-Crisis Militant Word," April 9-10, 2016, University at Buffalo. Participation is limited to 15; proposals will be added in the order they are received.

“This seminar combines two critical poetics perspectives on the present: Brian Ang’s ‘Post-Crisis Poetics’ and Jeff Derksen’s ‘The Militant Word.’ ‘The Militant Word’ inquires into the plurality of militant poetries present and past, while ‘Post-Crisis Poetics’ concerns critical poetries since the 2008 economic crisis, with a perspective toward transformations over ‘the next 25 years’ and beyond. Discussion seeks further perspectives from participants in order to exchange awarenesses and multiply connections with their own practices.”
