italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
I spoke to the "poet in residence" who is in charge of the program. They
plan to end shortly after midnight. I don't know how. A more intriguing
point (for this list) is that she said she was told it needed to extend
into the next day based on the poem itself. Indeed, she asked me why that
was so. I have been thinking about it and do not yet have a good
answer. Certainly, Dante is in the "dark wood" on Thurs night and does not
"begin" the journey until Friday morning with the aborted assault on the
Mount. Perhaps this is what is meant.
