MODERNISM STUDIES 2015 - Boston

The mint pots were a surprise.

I've been to so many conferences in Boston in recent years that I find myself serving as tour guide to colleagues. One of the highlights of this year's gathering was the group poetry reading Friday evening -- I'll post a separate set of photos from that event.

This year it was our turn to get assigned the 8:30 Sunday morning time slot -- Just the right time for a session on radical jazz and radical poetics. Emily Sharpe chaired the session, featuring papers by Gregory Pierrot, Michael New and me.
