Blacktop Ecologies: Los Angeles Poetry and Poetics was a one-day symposium of writers active in Los Angeles today. Though largely drawn from the interaction of poetry and teaching, the poets range from highly experimental, even “conceptual,” writers of lyric, narrative and political poetry, as well as translation and performance writing.

Presented by the English Department of UCLA, the Friends of English, the Dean of Humanities and the Modernist/Experimental Literature and Text-art (M/ELT) Colloquium.
