entanglement poetics: hybrid of protest and performance

entanglement poetics: hybrid of protest & performance

we will invoke a view of symbiosis in our writing with everything: including our cyborgian selves, our dreams, our precarious world, our languages, our poet-documentations, migrations, identities, histories and most importantly our powerful imaginations. we will engage in in-class experiments of “attention”, collaboration, montage, memory, meditation.  

bring cameras, recorders, instruments and a text of a poetry from the archaic/ancient past that speaks to you of prophecy, sanctuary and apocalypse. discussion, poetics, salient texts.

recommended reading:
trickster feminism, penguin, and jaguar harmonics, maelstrom editions, bruxelles.
