Rachel Zucker releases the first of her five lectures written for the Bagley Wright Lecture Series. This episode βThe Poetics of Wrongness,β is the title lecture of her new book, now out from Wave. Within the framework of feminism, motherhood, and politics, the lecture challenges long-held rules and perceptions of what poetry and art can be or should be, offering up new modes of generating a personal aesthetic, poetry, and discourse. This episode includes audio of the lecture given at Seattle Arts and Lectures on November 14, 2016 as well as a conversation recorded in April, 2023 with her son Moses Goren about the lecture.
Many thanks to Seattle Arts and Lectures, The Bagley Wright Poetry Lecture Series and the BWLS Podcast, Ellen Welcker, Heidi Broadhead, Charlie Wright and everyone at Wave Books. Here is a longer list of acknowledgments and a partial list of referenced sources.
