Writing(,) Noticing

What do we notice–when, and why? How can we control, divert, and organize our senses to approach the world–and our creative practice(s)–with attention? We'll take inspiration across media: poetry (Renee Gladman, Diana Khoi Nguyen), visual art (Etel Adnan, Yuji Agematsu), music (Frankie Cosmos, JJJJJerome Ellis), and the natural world, and experiment with the ways our work changes when our focus does. We'll investigate distraction, sustained attention, and associative thinking with generative exercises, freewriting, and discussion.
