Ange Mlinko’s “Poetry at Sea” is a discussion of the paradox that for a certain strand of the poetic tradition, language is a complete conflation of the cerebral and the erotic: that it uses the bewilderment of meaning as a seduction strategy; and that this seduction is meant to tempt us to remain open to the possibility of transformation of our lives. This lecture was given Sept 8, 2016, at Hugo House in Seattle, WA.
