CROSS GENRE WORKSHOP WITH E. TRACY GRINNELL

WEDNESDAY, 19 OCTOBER. 2022
10:30, M-103, Monttessuy Center for the Arts,
9 bis Rue de Monttessuy, 75007 Paris


In her short essay, 鈥淚 have not 鈥榮een鈥� war,鈥� Etel Adnan writes 鈥淚 have lived with 鈥榳ar鈥� all my life, I suffered deeply from it, I participated in some by writing a novel, or poetry, in indirect ways, in 鈥榩eaceful鈥� ways, but the wars them-selves have always been somewhere else even when I was 鈥榯here鈥欌��

In this workshop we will consider location, proximity, and recording daily life in Adnan鈥檚 poem-length chapbook From A to Z. How can we use serial form, such as Adnan鈥檚 use of the alphabet, to write ourselves into present realities, to contend with ongoing wars and existential threats (climate crisis, nuclear threats), to be there when we are always here? How can a serial form expand or alter the meaning of your writing?

绿巨人视频 participants are not required to register, simply show up with writing tools.
