Graduate Development Workshop: Creative and Scholarly Publishing

Please join us for a conversation with Kristen Case, prize-winning poet and author of Thoreau’s Kalendar Project (Milkweed 2025).

We will discuss the intersections of creative and scholarly writing and publishing,  exploring strategies for integrating academic work, creative practice, and daily life, within and beyond the university.

Kristen Case is a poet and scholar. In addition to Thoreau's Kalendar, she is the author of American Pragmatism and Poetic Practice: Crosscurrents from Emerson to Susan Howe and three books of poetry, most recently, Daphne. She lives in Maine, where she is executive director of The Monson Seminar, a residential program for Pell-eligible and first-generation college students. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Henry David Thoreau (forthcoming, Oxford UP), William James and Literary Studies (forthcoming, Cambridge UP), Thoreau in an Age of Crisis (Fink, 2021), 21|19: Contemporary Poets in the 19th Century Archive (Milkweed Editions, 2019), and Thoreau at 200: Essays and Reassessments (Cambridge UP, 2016). She is the recipient of the Maine Literary Award in Poetry (2016 and 2020), a MacDowell Fellowship, and the University of Maine’s Trustee Professorship.
