I wrote a little “newsletter” for UCLA concerning M\/ELT related events and announcements. Thought I’d share it here:<\/p>\n
1. Jeremy Schmidt<\/strong> recently won one of Boston Review\u2019s \u201cDiscovery Poetry Prizes\u201d for which he will receive a cash prize, publication in the Boston Review and a reading at the 92nd Street Y in New York. 2. Tara Fickle<\/strong>, Jacquelyn Ardam<\/strong> and myself have essays in the new \u201cPoetry Games\u201d issue of Comparative Literature Review, a UCLA hat trick! 3. As some of you know, Tara Fickle<\/strong> was recently hired by the University of Oregon to teach Asian American Literature and Digital Humanities but even more exciting (to me, because I just discovered it) she has a really nice website! We\u2019ll certainly miss her! 4. I\u2019m honored to have been asked to give the keynote lecture for the UCSB Conference \u201cComposition: Making Meaning through Design.\u201d May 15-16 (my talk is at 1:45 on the 15th). It’s hosted by their History of Books & Material Texts group. My talk is titled \u201cEstablishing and Dispelling Ground in Print and Screen Design\u201d and I\u2019m eager to find out what I mean by that. I\u2019ve attached the draft brochure. 5. I\u2019ll also be giving a talk on my research and art at the Digital Humanities Working Group on May 28th at 4pm in the YRL Research Commons. The talk will center around my book project \u201cComedies of Separation\u201d which outlines a theory of text\/algorithm interaction as it relates to literature, politics and philosophy. 6. In addition to UCLA students Lisa Mendelman<\/strong> and Renee Hudson<\/strong>, M\/ELT has two outside scholars coming in to talk about their research, Arne DeBoever<\/strong> of CalArts regarding \u201cCreatures of Panic: On Robert Harris\u2019 The Fear Index,\u201d and Jessica Lewis Luck<\/strong> of CSUSB on \u201cExperimental Sound Poetry and the Catchiness of the Avant-Garde.\u201d Here\u2019s the detailed schedule. Please write to me if you\u2019d like to receive the papers. 7. And as a reminder, M\/ELT is sponsoring a reading by poet and Pulitzer-winner Rae Armantrout<\/strong> on May 12th, 4pm, in Humanities 193. The reading will be followed by a Q&A. 8. Not to get all me on you again, but for those of you interested in my research (since I\u2019m sure it\u2019s a bit mystifying) a few other essays of mine have been published recently and are available online:<\/p>\n \u201cAgainst Desire: Excess, Disgust and the Sign in Electronic Literature” \u201cConceptual Writing: The L.A. Brand\u201d 9. Other M\/ELT-related student publications include Jacquelyn Ardam\u2019s essay<\/strong> \u201c”Too Old for Children and Too Young for Grown-ups”: Gertrude Stein’s To Do: A Book of Alphabets and Birthdays\u201d in Modernism\/modernity (this was the first essay we workshopped, actually): Jay Jin<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cThe Physics of Voice in Joyce\u2019s \u2018Ithaca\u2019\u201d appeared last year in the Joyce Studies Annual: Tara Fickle<\/strong>\u2019s essay on Amy Tan is forthcoming in MELUS (39.3 Fall 2014). This obviously isn\u2019t online yet but here\u2019s an abstract: 10. And lastly, Jacquelyn Ardam<\/strong>, Sarah Nance<\/strong>, Jay Jin<\/strong> and Jeremy Schmidt<\/strong> will be partaking in a roundtable at this year\u2019s Southland Conference called \u201cReading Matters\u201d at UCLA on May 29-30. This isn\u2019t a M\/ELT panel but I think \u201cmelt\u2019 and \u201cmaterial\u201d will appear in the title once they choose one. I wrote a little “newsletter” for UCLA concerning M\/ELT related events and announcements. Thought I’d share it here: 1. Jeremy Schmidt recently won one of Boston Review\u2019s \u201cDiscovery Poetry Prizes\u201d for which he will receive a cash prize, publication in the Boston Review and a reading at the 92nd Street Y in New York. http:\/\/bostonreview.net\/blog\/daniel-evans-pritchard-2014-discovery-poetry-prize-winners-announced … Continue reading M\/ELT Updates and Announcements<\/span>
