“Omission”
Some texts move us primarily because of what they don’t include. Under what literary circumstances is it more expressive to say nothing than to say something? In this talk I’ll present poetry and prose that omits formal, narrative, referential, descriptive, or subjective content, and consider the techniques and effects of those omissions. Examples will include works by Man Ray, Don Paterson, James Wright, Jenny Boully, John D’Agata, Amy Hempel, Kenneth Koch, Donald Hall, Lydia Davis, Jack Gilbert, and others.
Sarah Manguso is the author, most recently, of the memoirs Ongoingness, The Guardians, and The Two Kinds of Decay. Her prose has appeared in Harper’s, McSweeney’s, and the New York Review of Books. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Rome Prize
