CFP: Confessional and Postconfessional American Poetry

I am organizing a panel on "Confessional and Postconfessional  
American Poetry" for the upcoming 15th annual Kansas State University  
Cultural Studies Conference on "Privacy" next March (March 9-11,  
2006, in Manhattan, Kansas).

The panel seeks papers on poets who explore the psyche and the self,  
childhood and adult traumas, experience and autobiography. I am also  
interested in papers about poets who contest or mimic the concerns of  
confessional poets.

Possible poets for consideration might include the classic  
confessional poets such as Lowell, Plath, Sexton, Snodgrass, and  
Berryman. The panel also hopes to include attention to more recent  
personal or postconfessional poets such as Susan Hahn, Sharon Olds,  
Louise Gluck, Robert Hass, James Tate, and Jonathan Holden.

If you are interested in participating in this panel, please send a 1- 
page proposal for a fifteen-minute paper or presentation to Greg  
Eiselein (eiselei at ksu.edu).  Deadline:  October 25.

Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues and other  
listservs.
