- **Event Name**: KNOW HOWE: Kythe Heller on Fanny Howe's "Bewilderment"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the second meeting of this creative, catalyzing book club, dedicated to the work of Fanny Howe (1940-2025). 

In this session, Kythe Heller will lead a discussion of Fanny Howe’s idea of bewilderment. A central concept in Howe’s poetics and prose, bewilderment is neither mere confusion nor disorientation, but an ethic—and a radical aesthetic—that asks us to enter the world and language without prefigured meaning.

Drawing from Howe’s influential essay “Bewilderment,” first delivered in 1998 and later collected in The Wedding Dress: Meditations on Word and Life (2003), we will explore how bewilderment becomes a way of being, writing, and thinking that resists certainty and welcomes the unknown.

Participants are encouraged to read the essay in advance if possible, though all are welcome to join this informal, generative conversation.

In-Person Attendance: Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library, Room 330. Free and open to the public. Seating is limited, arrive early if possible.
 

Online Attendance: Livestreaming available via WPR YouTube Channel.
