Sarah S. Kortemeier about her winning essay, “I'll Drown My Book: Visibility,
Gender, and Classification in The University of Arizona Poetry Center Library.”
The essay concerns the persistent gender imbalance in literary publishing.
Kortemeier writes that she “seek[s] to highlight and amplify the voices of
female poets in the holdings of a single library by enhancing subject analysis
in cataloging practices and creating a shelf marking system for anthologies
that focus on women's writing.” The presentation will be followed by a Q&A
and discussion.</p>
