Creative Power: A Craft Talk with Myung Mi Kim
Description
Poet and professor emeritus Myung Mi Kim gives a talk on how to develop and sustain a life-long creative practice.
Myung Mi Kim is a Professor of English and the James H. McNulty Chair Emeritus at the University at Buffalo. Kim is an expert in 20th-century American poetry and transcultural poetics and is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the field of contemporary experimental poetry.
She is the author of six collections of poetry, including Civil Bound (Omnidawn Publishing, 2019), and Under Flag (Kelsey St. Press, 1991), winner of The Multicultural Publisher’s Exchange Award of Merit.
Of her poetry, Fred Moten says, "The largesse is obvious, mysteriously stark, and interminable, endlessly diverse, like what flows before, and then after, a river, hard in its erosions and redactions. Having found a sonic niche of her own, Myung Mi Kim is our species, or gives us as close to a reason as we’ve got."
Kim is the recipient of fellowships and honors from the Fund for Poetry, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, the Gertrude Stein Awards in Innovative North American Poetry, and the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activity.
