![]() ![]() Poetic form and substance may be rethought from these new perspectives as fundamental and generative as the editors write: �conditions of outsideness may create � a field for the invention of new or special forms and modes of language.� Outside-in / Inside-out will address the disparate realms of poetry created by, or emerging from, the condition of being outside dominant and official positions. Inspired by the recently published fifth volume of Poems for the Millennium, Barbaric Vast & Wild: A Gathering of Outside & Subterranean Poetry from Origins to Present, this symposium will open up views to poetry past, present, and potentially future with the question: Is there something in poetry �outside� (economically, racially, nationally, formally, etc.) and �subterranean� (suppressed by political and poetic hegemonies) that may lie at the heart of the most vital poetic practice? In their new groundbreaking gathering, Jerome Rothenberg and John Bloomberg-Rissman have assembled a wide range of poems and related language works, in which outside/outsider and subterranean/subversive positions challenge the boundaries of poetry. ![]()
