Anthologies, an editor’s pov

Harold Schechter
Wednesday, April 9th
6:30-8:00
Klapper Hall, 7th floor
Harold Schechter, QC professor and author of over thirty books, is also the co-editor of the exquisite everyman/knopf volume, Conversation Pieces: poems that talk to other poems. He will visit a course that is based on this text, speak about the anthology’s inception, as well as answer questions/offer advice about editing anthologies. Aside from editing this volume and various textbooks, he has just completed a ground-breaking anthology of true crime for the library of America (forthcoming, fall 2008).
