2018 Allen Ginsberg Visiting Fellow:  FRED MOTEN

Jack Kerouac School for Disembodied Poetics presents Fred Moten as the 2018 Allen Ginsberg Visting Fellow.  Fred Moten was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He received his AB from Harvard and PhD in English from the University of California, Berkeley. In 2009, Moten was recognized as one of ten “New American Poets” by the Poetry Society of America. Poet and nonfiction author Maggie Nelson writes of Moten’s work, “With insistence, music, and a measured softness, Fred Moten’s poems construct idiosyncratic, critical canons that invite our research and repay our close attention. … It is hard to make poetry that shimmers on such an edge. Moten does so, and then some.”
