The Emily Dickinson International Society invites submissions for their guaranteed session at next year’s MLA Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas:

Title of session:      Lyrical Ecologies

Description: This session focuses on Dickinson’s relation to human and non-human eco-systems. We invite 300-word abstracts for presentations engaging Dickinson’s textual and material ecologies, including her interrogation of anthropomorphism; her stakes in human-non-human crossings; her creation of “soundtopes”; her imagination of a post-human “world without us”; her investment in the sociality of poetic form,  her continued existence in a new digital ecology, etc.

Please submit cvs and abstracts by March 15 to:

Eliza Richards (eliza_richards@unc.edu ) and Marta Werner (wernerm@dyc.edu )
