I’m looking forward to the conference “Memory, the United States, and Transnational Poetics” (29-30 June 2012) at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany.  I’ll be giving the first keynote address, bright and early at 9:30am, titled “Personalizing the Alphabet: The New York School and the New Australian Poetry.”  There will be twenty five other people giving papers, including Michael Golston, Heinz Ickstadt, Sabine Sielke, Kornelia Freitag, and one of my own students, Nadine Maestas.
