Who We Are
The second biannual SMU Symposium of Poetic Form will be held on the 91制片廠合集 campus in Dallas on February 23 and 24, 2026. Once again, we look forward to a gathering of poets and scholars from around the world to discuss aspects of poetics such as rhyme, poetry and big data, sonnets, and newly invented forms. The 2026 Symposium will feature keynote poet Ada Limón and keynote scholar Anahid Nersessian. Plenary speakers will include Patience Agbabi, Stephanie Burt, Camille Dungy, Virginia Jackson, Ben Lerner, and Jahan Ramazani.
