S145. CANCELLED: Reading and Writing from Adrienne Rich

Status: Not Accepted

Room 304, Henry B. González Convention Center, Ballroom Level
Saturday, March 7, 2020
9:00 am to 10:15 am

 

The Cherrywood Poetry Workshop in Austin, TX, following a format we learned in Hoa Nguyen’s private studio, read and wrote in response to all 1,216 pages of Adrienne Rich, Collected Poems 1950-2012. Surmising that having read every published Rich poem in community might be a unique accomplishment, we want to report on how deeply prescient Rich is about the ruptures in contemporary American life and share some of the work we developed in response.
