How We Place African American Poetry, University of Wisconsin, April 2003
A.L. Nielsen writes of this reading: In April of 2003, Lorenzo Thomas and I appeared at
a symposium at the University of Wisconsin
organized by Lynn Keller, titled WHAT'S NEW IN AMERICAN POETRY. Lorenzo and I had by then been
on many panels together, acting as a sort of roving tag team of poetry criticism. This time out,
Lorenzo delivered a talk he called "How We Place African American Poetry" and I delivered a
prepared response to his talk.
