It was presented through or by Poetry in the Round. A particular local planner/host was never clear. Herb Simons was there, and Don Burkes was there. A vanload of undergrads from I think Alabama Huntsville ( is that right?). KB was critic at large. Speakers
included Bloom, Nemerov, Dennis Donohue, Archie Ammons, Rueckert (I think), Geoffrey Hartman (I think), and, in a separate but connected talk/reading, Ralph Ellison. I have a folder somewhere with info, but where that folder is I co u ld not quickly discover.

<div dir="ltr">Hi, again!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I did some digging into the archives of the KB list and found Ed, Richard Thames, and David Williams discussing the December 1986 Seton Hall conference. Greig Henderson was there with those three also. Harold Bloom was one of the presenters. They don't
mention the name of the conference. I've attached a few of the pages so that you can see what they say.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, maybe that gets you a little bit closer!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Dave</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did anyone on this list attend the 1986 Burke conference at Seton Hall? (Ed did, but again, we've lost our encyclopedia!) What was the name of the conference, the date, and the focus?</div>
