KRISTEN CASE DISCUSSES DAPHNE

Please join us as Kristen Case discusses and reads from Daphne.

A meditation on the centrality of predation to the Western lyric tradition.

In dialogue with Wittgenstein’s “On Certainty,” Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Thomas Wyatt’s “Whoso List to Hunt,” among other works, Kristen Case’s poems and lyric essays unearth the ways violence both disrupts and enables our ways of knowing—or approximating knowledge of—one another.

Kristen Case lives in Maine. She is the author of the poetry collections Little Arias and Principles of Economics. She won the Maine Literary Award in Poetry for both collections. She is also the author of scholarly essays and books on American literature, most recently Keeping Time: Henry David Thoreau’s Kalendar.
