Lost Classics: Critical Selections from John Hollander
Date

Humanities Center Boardroom
Please join us on Tuesday, October 28th, at 6-8pm in the Humanities Center boardroom for our annual Lost Classics event, in which we revisit a neglected but important contribution to poetry criticism.
This year's event is on John Hollander, the influential twentieth-century American poet, anthologist, and critic. The formalist critic and long-time Yale professor was known for his precise attention to the intricacies of poetic form and rhythm (epitomized by the classic work _Rhyme鈥檚 Reason_ (1981)). For this session in the Workshop in Poetics, we will read three excerpts from _Vision and Resonance: Two Senses of Poetic Form_ (1975): 鈥淭he Poem in the Ear,鈥 鈥淭he Metrical Frame,鈥 and 鈥淭he Poem in the Eye.鈥 The readings are attached.
