Description
In their new book, Edible Arrangements: Modernism's Queer Forms, Clark University professor Elizabeth Blake (English) explores the ways queer consumption restructures modernist literary forms. In this talk, Blake focuses on T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and H. D.’s “Priapus” to discuss the way modernist poets disrupt lyric traditions by setting intertextuality and phenomenological referentiality in tension in order to explore queer experience. This talk was given February 19, 2025.
