From "Reservations: Identity and Poetic Form"

The following is an excerpt of the lecture I'll be giving next week at the 2009 Literatures of the West Coast Graduate Conference at the University of the Victoria. The working title is "Reservations: Identity and Poetic Form" and it mostly tells the story of how I came to think of poetic form as being both customs agent and traveller, local and global.

Literature of the West Coast, Graduate Conference 2009

This is the first graduate conference for the Literatures of the West Coast graduate program at the University of Victoria. I've been asked to be a plenary speaker. My talk will be called "Reservations: Form and Identity" and will focus on how I've used form to both globalize and localize my poems.
