Submission (must)

* Wait for readers to sign and Lorraine to bring the signature page
	to Barbara Bennett.

Could

  • p. 114 paragraph cut off before block quote

  • Align pages that begin with single-spaced and double-spaced elements

  • Put Bénabou in the right order. (Requires installing Unicode collation with pandoc.)

  • Remove double quotes around title on Dedeo (in MLA).

  • Cite Keats, “The Eve of St. Agnes” from a more reliable source (e.g. Poems & Letters)

  • Cite Donne, “The Computation,” by itself (since Johnson does not technically cite it).

  • Add name in brackets for McCarty if needed (53). (Although it is technically correct MLA).

  • Add books mentioned in Dickinson footnote to bibliography

  • Add footnote on Agamben and Calvino

  • Make sure every article in bibliography has an URL or DOI.

  • (e.g. Add URL for Scott Pound article)

  • Remove Davenport from biblio if deemed unnecessary (as the container-author field doesn’t appear correctly.)

  • Add page number to inline Calvino quote re: Carlo Levi (“tangled”). (Difficult to do without the Italian, and the block quote gives a page number, which is probably the same.)

  • Consider renaming vita to curriculum vitae

  • Consider adjusting title page spacing

  • Considering adjusting left margin to 1.5" and right margin to 1"

Won’t

  • Make it clear that Valéry is cited in Baetens and Poucel (Or add direct reference to Valéry: not needed: “sympathy for the return to order”)

  • Consider adding reference for Marvell, “ye living lamps”

  • Coleridge citation? Otherwise change to ctd. in Starnino.

  • Add page number to second Ngai instance re: stuplimity.

  • Consider adding Drift, since you mention it

  • Consider adding line numbers to Bergvall

  • Consider finding a better Virgil translation. Or lineate.

  • Consider quoting Chun in Calvino chapter rather than just referencing.

  • Disambiguate McLaughlin if you add the other McLaughlin (which you don’t, so forget about it)

  • Disambiguate Johnson references (because Hyperboles is in bibliography)

  • Consider adding (Place and Fitterman 11) note in Bergvall to help locate text in bibliography (although the preface is written by Fitterman ...)

  • Add line numbers to poetry citations after block quotes (e.g. with Bervin and Shakespeare on p. 145).

  • Find whatever you meant by Magné, “Tentative” (re: food in Perec)

  • Consider altering summary of Bartlebooth on 145 (or your earlier summary). Repetitive.

  • Consider reading Juan Luis Martínez’ La nueva novela (Read it when the dissertation is done.)

  • Add footnote on digital poetry.

  • Do all the things listed in your other to do lists.

  • Browse articles on “The Knight’s Tale”

  • Finish reading Derrida on the stranger

  • Retranslate Belacqua passage (“What good would it do to go up?”)

  • Add a footnote on The Poetry of Sound to Bergvall chapter

  • Consider extending the Calvino chapter: could you spin out the chessboard scene’s connections to other moments in the book?

  • Give more close readings of Eunoia

  • Consider adding a footnote on César Aira in Calvino chapter

  • Add a pun in the section on “The Not Tale” re: tally (a tale, or a tally [113])
