Kristen Case, "Thoreau's Temporal Imagination"
The SASAH Speakers' Series is pleased to welcome Kristen Case. Kristen will discuss her recently published transcriptions of Henry David Thoreau's late-life natural history charts in her book Thoreau's Kalendar. The talk will foreground the ways that Thoreau's temporal creativity can help us reimagine our increasingly time-famished lives.
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.
The annual, interdisciplinary SASAH Speakers' Series invites nationally and internationally renowned leaders across the arts and humanities to discuss leading topics of concern. Kristen is a guest of Professor Kate Stanley's first-year SASAH class, "Climate Conversations: Finding Common Ground for the 21st Century."
