About the event:
Roethke’s short poem “Night Crow” is the subject of Sarah-Kate Moore’s contribution to A Field Guide to the Poetry of Theodore Roethke (2021), edited by William Barillas and published by Ohio University Press. “Night Crow” envisions a bird that is both actual and symbolic, existing in the shared world and within the human mind. Moore discusses how Roethke’s poem “begins with a concrete image perceived by the outer, physical eye” but then turns inward “into the depthless abyss of the unknown inner self.” Moore will present her interpretation of this poem and then take questions and comments from the audience.
About Sarah-Kate Moore:
