”Poetry isn’t hard, it’s impossible. Our contempt for any particular poem must be perfect, be total, because only a ruthless reading that allows us to measure the gap between the actual and the virtual will enable us to experience, if not a genuine poem—no such thing—a place for the genuine, whatever that might mean.”
– Ben Lerner, The Hatred of Poetry
 
This study circle will place contemporary poetry in conversation with participants’ own poetic practice. In its two-hour format, we will first discuss a full volume of poems published after 2001 – with books by Peter Gizzi, Fred Moten, Lucie Brock-Bruido, Natalie Diaz, Claudia Rankine, John Ashbery, Alice Oswald, Kevin Young, and others.
 
In the second half of the session, we will talk about a work by a group participant – whether a published book of poems, work-in-progress, freestanding text, collaboration, or performance piece – beginning with an introduction by the author. As such, this reading group is intended for practicing poets (although anyone with an interest in poetry is welcome). Readings will be in English, and discussion in both English and Swedish.
 
Participants will get 15-20% off the reading list at the newly opened nord books in Södermalm.
 
Studiecirkeln leds av Max Alletzhauser som är poet och översättare.
