PUBLIC TRUST, 11/3

Excited to return to the University of Pennsylvania in a month's time! Hope to catch up with some old friends there, 11/3, 5:30-7 pm. Details here with a favorite quote from George Steiner's After Babel: “Language is the main instrument of man’s refusal to accept the world as it is.”

Join us at Public Trust for Poetry After Barbarism, a conversation with scholars Jennifer Scappettone, Paul Saint-Amour, Christos Kalli, and Jean-Michel Rabaté exploring literary verse as a form of agency and resistance, on Monday, November 3, 2025 from 5:30-7:00pm.

Presented with the Theorizing Colloquium Series in the Program in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory and the Mod/Con Working Group in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
