Talk: Niedecker’s Binoculars with Patrick Morrissey *ONLINE*

Niedecker's Binoculars: A Virtual Talk with Patrick Morrissey is presented by Friends of Lorine Niedecker

Online on Zoom (This event will be recorded.)

Friends of Lorine Niedecker (FoLN) are delighted to host poet and essayist Patrick Morrissey for a virtual talk that will consider the significance of double vision, shifting scales, and embarrassment in the poetry of Lorine Niedecker. Through close consideration of a few favorite poems and some speculation about the value of poetry, I'll hope to open up a conversation about Niedecker's ways of seeing and some ways we might "carry our clarity with us."

Patrick Morrissey's third book of poems, Light Box, was published by Verge Books in 2023. His essays have appeared recently in Annulet: A Journal of Poetics, Chicago Review, and Textual Practice. He teaches at the University of Chicago.
