I’m excited that I’m going to be presenting a paper at this fabulous conference in September.
Lifting Belly High: A Conference on Women’s Poetry Since 1900 will be held at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, September 11, 12 & 13, 2008
Lifting Belly High: A Conference on Women’s Poetry Since 1900 celebrates women poets of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through a national gathering of critics, scholars and poets. Exploring the rich and diverse textures of poetry and scholarship, the conference encourages discussion about the shape and direction of women’s poetry and discourse that can carry poetry into academic, social and political life. The conference will include a range of contexts for discussing and hearing poetry.
* • Plenary panels featuring invited scholars and poets, discussing “New Directions in Scholarship”; “Poetry and the Visual”; “Poetry and Sound”; and “Feminism, Formalism and Innovation”
* • Readings by contemporary poets
* • Break-out sessions for submitted papers and panels
* • Seminar discussions of pre-submitted papers on various topics
Featuring the following poets and critics:
Jan Beatty • Mei-mei Berssenbrugge • Rachel Blau DuPlessis • Lynn Emanuel
Annie Finch • Kathleen Fraser • Susan Stanford Friedman • Elisabeth Frost
Melissa Girard • Alan Golding • Arielle Greenberg • Jeanne Heuving
Cynthia Hogue • Stacy Hubbard • Lynn Keller • Dawn Lundy Martin

Hi Julie,
Congrats on getting accepted to this conference. I am glad to have found you on blogger. Thank you for getting in touch after the "Why Study Women's Poetry" conference. I thought that was a pretty amazing experience. I've officially started blogging so put me on your blogroll.
Best,
Carol M.
