Bøger i Bagley Wright Lecture Series serien

The third book in Wave's Bagley Wright Lecture Series presenting the vibrant and generous poetics of Dorothea Lasky.

A rare glimpse inside the mind of a National Book Award-winning, Guggenheim, and MacArthur fellow poet as he considers his influences and larger surrounding poetic history.

Lectures that meander, accumulate, and adjust in an echolocating search for the in-between places where poetry lives.

Guard the Mysteries is a compendium of five talks that the poet Cedar Sigo presented for the Bagley Wright Lecture series. Retracing the ways in which he first encountered the realm of poetry, Sigo plumbs the particulars of modern critique, identity politics, early influences, and poetic form to produce a singular 'autobiography of voice.' Across these lectures, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, while paying homage to revolutionary artists, teachers, and thinkers whom have shaped his poetic aesthetic. Simultaneously timeless and extremely timely, these talks ponder the presences that California Buddhism, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Native Nations occupy in the poetic world and the world at large.
