There was no off-site poetry reading during MLA's visit to Boston this year -- Hope somebody in Chicago will take it on for next year -- But we had a wonderful time all the same -- In addition to poetry division business, I was there to present another paper on the late Gil Scott-Heron on a panel with Carter Mathes and Margo Natalie Crawford, chaired by Anna Everett. My colleague Michael Berube was MLA president this year, drumming up support for the humanities and giving his usual witty performance in his address. The MLA staff did their always exemplary job of herding professors and making a success out of such a disparate gathering. Additional photos here from Richard Flynn, Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper and Laura Moriarty, who I thank heartily.
