Lyric’s due: The performative poetics of Begetting Textile (2002-03-15) Author: Chris Tysh Document Available Conference on Marjorie Welish Series Curated by Aaron Levy, Jean-Michel Rabaté Published by Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

The word "respondent" in conferences usually means "in response to others' papers" given live although written in advance. By "pre-respondent" we mean something different: a paper in response to work by Marjorie Welish--not work by others--not to be read in public as a free-standing paper yet circulated to the other conference participants in advance. These papers are published online, and subsequently in book format with the papers given live.

Chris Tysh teaches creative writing and women’s studies at Wayne State University in Detroit. Her latest book of poems is Continuity Girl (United Artists, 2000). Her poems, reviews and essays have recently appeared in Chicago Review, Jacket, Lipstick Eleven, Chain, Metro Times, Poetry Flash and How², among others. She edits mark(s), an online quarterly.
