Poetics Working Group

The Poetics Working Group brings together students and faculty across the humanities whose research is invested in the critical study and theory of poetics. Our discussions consider recent critical trends and methodologies in poetics. As a basis for these discussions, we read major historical works on poetics, prosody, and genre theory, and contemporary essays and books. We also invite Yale faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars to present their own work, published or in process. If you are interested in sharing work or joining our conversation, please get in touch. All are welcome!
