Add to ORKGIn this audiovisual recording from Wednesday, March 20, 2013, as part of the 44th Annual UND Writers Conference: “A Portrait of an Artist,” Mary Jo Bang reads poetry from The Bride of E and a canto from her translation of Dante\u27s Inferno. Before reading Dante\u27s Inferno, Bang discusses the process of writing it. Bang reads her more recent poetry, discusses “erasure” as a method of writing, and reads from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Bang also responds to audience questions about her writing inspirations, over-arching arguments in collections of poetry, and metaphysical and physical spaces for writing. Introduced by Laurel Perez
