[Vwoolf] Woolf in Conversation

[Andrea Zemgulys]

Dear Kristina,

I haven’t read it yet, but a former student just let me know of a book she is publishing that is “found Woolf poetry.” I gather that she composed new poems from favorite Woolf passages.  

Nazifa Islam, Forlorn Light: “...published with a small UK publisher so there hasn't been a lot of advertising for the collection, but here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.shearsman.com/store/Nazifa-Islam-Forlorn-Light-p362124177__;!!KGKeukY!39ZkxFsoltFWSS8qLos1wbFO8I9K5RUJqMfPptldUdJRaTmbtqrmtrmL6VJ78Zrmejq-NeAXd1f-vImR8OhJBJc$  > is the book's webpage on the Shearsman Books site and here's <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nazifaislam.com/forlorn-light__;!!KGKeukY!39ZkxFsoltFWSS8qLos1wbFO8I9K5RUJqMfPptldUdJRaTmbtqrmtrmL6VJ78Zrmejq-NeAXd1f-vImRTQCbvB0$  > the book's webpage on my own website, which is a bit more detailed."

Maybe something from this book will work for you…or you could have your students compose their own “found” poems — that might work very well for an assignment!

Sincerely,

Andrea Zemgulys

I am particularly interested in having students read Woolf's work alongside contemporary women writers and writers of color.  Please share your ideas about writers and texts that you've found especially engaging when read in conversation with Woolf, especially with an undergraduate class in mind.  Many thanks!
