Niedecker’s Binoculars: A virtual talk by Patrick Morrissey
November 10 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm CST
Friends of Lorine Niedecker (FoLN) are delighted to host poet and essayist Patrick Morrissey for a virtual talk delivered via Zoom on Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 5pm CST. This event will be recorded.
This talk will consider the significance of double vision, shifting scales, and embarrassment in the poetry of Lorine Niedecker. Through close consideration of a few favorite poems and some speculation about the value of poetry, Morrissey hopes to open up a conversation about Niedecker’s ways of seeing and some ways we might “carry our clarity with us.”
