Poetry at Bennington, an Endowed
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 23, 2019 CONTACT: Natalie Redmond, [email protected], 802-440-4507 National Book Awards Honorees Featured in 2019-2020 Poetry at Bennington Series Bennington, VT: Poetry at Bennington, an endowed program of short-term residencies that brings established and emerging poets to Bennington College for public readings and close work with students, has announced its 2019-2020 lineup of visiting poets. All Poetry at Bennington readings begin at 7:00 pm and are free, open to the public, and will take place in Tishman Lecture Hall on the College’s campus. Three of this year’s visiting poets have been longlisted for the National Book Awards in Poetry, including Jericho Brown (The Tradition, Copper Canyon Press) and Ariana Reines (A Sand Book, Tin House Books) who will visit this fall, and Ilya Kaminsky (Deaf Republic, Graywolf Press) who will visit in spring 2020. “We're so excited about the aesthetically and culturally inclusive range of visiting poets coming to Bennington this year from across the country—Georgia and Minnesota and Colorado and Utah, as well as New York and Boston. These are some of the most vital and electrifying voices in American poetry today,” said Poetry at Bennington Director Michael Dumanis. On Wednesday, October 2, Chelsey Minnis will read from her poetry. Minnis is the author of four books of poems, most recently Baby, I Don’t Care (Wave Books, 2018), a finalist for the Believer Book Award which Dwight Garner in The New York Times Book Review called “one of the most unusual and persuasive books of poems I’ve read in some time.” On Wednesday, October 16, poet, performer, and activist Anne Waldman ’66 returns to Bennington College for a reading. -

The Stanza in Postwar Anglophone Poetry Caleb Paul Agnew
A Form that is Many Forms: The Stanza in Postwar Anglophone Poetry Caleb Paul Agnew Millersville, MD B.A., The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2013 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia December 2019 ii ABSTRACT “A Form that is Many Forms: The Stanza in Postwar Anglophone Poetry” argues for the importance of stanzaic prosody in an era of unprecedented formal freedom, asserting that the shifts in stanzaic technique in the later twentieth century precipitate productive collisions between transhistorical poetic traditions and contemporary cultural pressures. My project follows the insights of Debra Fried and Jonathan Culler, who contend that critical neglect of the stanza hampers poetry studies generally. I propose that a combinatory model of stanzaic form—in which various verse segments such as rhyme, meter, syntax, and visual shape intersect to form multilinear patterns—more accurately tracks the turns and counterturns of twentieth-century verse experiments. This model facilitates the various investigations of my three chapters, each of which examines an individual poet’s rearrangements of existing stanzaic patterns to forge new links between the forms of literary history and the concerns of contemporary audiences. My first chapter begins in the early postwar era, as I consider how W. H. Auden’s verse responds to a shifting memorial culture in the wake of the world wars, and reinterpret his directive that poetry be “memorable speech.” Understanding poetic memorability as a complex “structuring of forgetfulness” involving mnemonic schemes, formal echoes, and the amnesiac structures of literary history, I argue that Auden shapes many of his stanzaic forms to tie together cultural imperatives of memory and the inevitability of forgetting. -
