October 24th from 7 to 8:30 pm on the Nanaimo campus in Building 355, Room 203.&nbsp;The lecture is free to attend and will be followed by a catered reception, cash bar, and book signing in Room 211.&nbsp;There will also be a reading and Q&amp;A for students on October 23rd from 11:30 am\u20131:00 pm in&nbsp;Building 310, The Malaspina Theatre lobby.&nbsp;Lisa Robertson&nbsp;will do a community reading that night at The Green Olive, 155 Skinner St, at 7:30 with student Claire Gordon as the opening reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>English and Creative Writing professor Dr. Neil Surkan will introduce Robertson at the lecture and comments:&nbsp;\u201cLisa Robertson\u2019s exhilarating and endlessly refreshing oeuvre has multiplied the possibilities of expression: her poems inspire us to be attentive and daring for the sake of deeper connection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robertson\u2019s talk, entitled \u201cNotes, Murmurations: The Notebook as Form of Rime,\u201d&nbsp;will engage with&nbsp;the form, practice, and history&nbsp;of keeping a notebook as it relates directly&nbsp;to her long poem&nbsp;<em>Boat<\/em>, composed from her accrued life of notebooks. It has been published in expanding increments twice so far, first by the University of California and then by Coach House\u2014one each decade since her chapbook&nbsp;<em>Rousseau&#8217;s Boat<\/em>&nbsp;was published in 2004.&nbsp;She hopes to repeat the process in seven years, when she&#8217;ll be 70.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, Robertson rereads the entire sum of notebooks with a single keyword or concept directing the process, then writes down these findings and recomposes them. She says she finds it \u201camusing, to discover in late middle age [that she has] been working on a long poem for half [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we can imagine that poems are a form of knowledge then Lisa Robertson is always on the cutting edge of research\u2014hypothesizing, experimenting, devising, and revising,\u201d says English professor Dr. Mike Roberson, who introduced Karen Solie as last year\u2019s Gustafson Distinguished Poet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the upcoming lecture, Robertson will begin the lecture with citations from&nbsp;Coleridge\u2019s notebooks in which he describes starling murmurations, then use this as an organizing image for thoughts about composition, temporality, pattern, practice, and formal invention as durational observation. She writes, \u201cI have become a close re-reader of my own notebooks, which has inspired a broader curiosity about the form. I&#8217;ve been reading Coleridge\u2019s notebooks, for example, with a strong interest in the work of their editor, Kathleen Coburn, who transcribed and annotated all of them, taking a big part of the 20th century to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-d4e1d367 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/portalmagazine.ca\/gustafson\/upcoming-lecture-october-2024\/\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:20px\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-ti-fg-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-ti-fg-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b51122c9 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-query alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-59ae92cc\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns alignwide has-1-columns has-desktop-equal-layout has-tablet-equal-layout has-mobile-equal-layout has-vertical-bottom\"><div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-columns-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"innerblocks-wrap\">\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-e0bb27e4\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"blog","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1971","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
