Poetry and Historical Memory
April 24, 2013
Two prominent poets and thinkers, one the Pulitzer Prize winning current U.S. Poet Laureate, read from their work and discuss the relationship between poetry and historical memory. How should writers approach historical events? What is the role of research? Are there limits to the transformation of one's materials? What are the costs of bearing witness?
