The New York School of poets is renowned for its canonized males (John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, etc), but its leading women have been largely overlooked. Like morning light slivering through history's forested branches, Maggie Nelson's Women, the New York School, and Other True Abstractions, offers a poetic, feminist analysis of women's integral role. Tonight, Nelson and a panel of her peers — including subject Eileen Myles, critic Bruce Hainley, poets Anne Carson and Claudia Rankine, and artist-musician Tara Jane O'Neil — creatively and critically respond to the shifted spotlight.
