Crossover Poetics: Making Art in Other Mediums
Saturday, March 26, 2022
10:35 am to 11:35 am
This panel expands and troubles the practice of poetry through an exploration of two writers’ pathways to nonpage forms including film, dance, and visual art. The panelists will share work and discuss how poetry informs their work, including questions such as: How do we engage multiple practices and poetics? How does our work circulate in the economy of each medium? The panelists wish to acknowledge various barriers to participation for the original panel of five.
