SUMMARY:Poetic Attention
DESCRIPTION:April 18–April 19\, 2024\n\n\n\nRegister for Poetry Matters’ Poetic Attention event. \n\n\n\nIn the spirit of conversation and collaborative thinking\, Poetry Matters is pleased to host a free in-person event\, April 18-19\, at McGill University’s Thomson House\, 3650 rue McTavish (space accessible) on the topic of poetic attention\, leading from the work of Lucy Alford (Forms of Poetic Attention\, Columbia UP\, 2020). Bringing together academic and poetic communities\, the event explores the enigmatic concept of “poetic attention.” From different standpoints\, we consider what this idea might mean and achieve in our days of the attention economy.  \n\n\n\nEvents include: \n\n\n\n\nA keynote lecture from Sarah Wylie Krotz\, Director of the Centre for Literatures in Canada at the University of Alberta\, On slowness and symbiosis: following lichens (11:30)\n\n\n\nA nature walk with Yvonne Hung\, Director\, McGill Writing Centre (1:30)\n\n\n\nReadings from poets Louise Dupré\, Joel A.
