Online Open to all levels
Open to all levels 2 Sessions
2 Sessions We will read from CAConrad's Ecodeviance: (Soma)tics for the Future Wilderness, paying particular attention to the relationship between process, content, form, and product. We will discuss the role of creating activities for oneself to generate new and unexpected writing, and practice writing poems in the style of CAConrad. Finally, we will create our own personal rituals to carry out after class—these are meant to support students in writing beyond the workshop.
