Crip Lyric
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
How does crip literary writing convey intense personal emotion and experience while attending to social conditions for historical trauma, networks of care, access, and collective thriving in a way that a lyric "I" might shift toward a lyric "we"? In a reading and discussion, panelists center a poetics of queer-of-color disability and chronic illness by asking how cripping our attention to imagination, memory, dream, the senses, bodily rhythms, and environment disrupts the unified lyric subject.
This event has been prerecorded, and will be available to watch on-demand online from March 8, 2023 to April 8, 2023.
