Fifth Biennial Conference: New Lights on the Poem – Looking Back, Looking Forward

June 3–5, 2025 |Organized by The International Network for the Study of Lyric (INSL) | Université du Québec à Montréal

Marking INSL’s tenth anniversary, this conference fosters international dialogue on lyric poetry theory. INSL (lyricology.org) is a nonprofit dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of poetry across languages, forms, and media. The event will explore how poems challenge our understanding of time, language, and meaning while engaging with history and the present. It also seeks to expand lyric theory beyond traditional models and examine its impact on teaching and sharing poetry.
