PSNY Virtual Workshop: Un*performance
Part of The Poetry Society of New York's Weekly Virtual Workshop Series.
An all-levels generative virtual workshop with poet Keith S. Wilson!
Forget what you know about readings. No really: let's forget for a moment about the aural qualities of a poem (they'll still be there for us later!) and consider the poem not as sheet music for a performance, but as the record of one. Poems as art objects but as filmic representations, too, of gesture and thought. We'll look at Douglas Kearney, Anne Carson, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and others.
About the Instructor: Keith S. Wilson is a poet, game designer, and multimedia artist. He is an Affrilachian Poet and a Cave Canem fellow and a recipient of an NEA Fellowship, a Kenyon Review Fellowship, and a Stegner Fellowship. Additionally, he has received fellowships or grants from Bread Loaf, Tin House, and the MacDowell Colony. His first book, Fieldnotes on Ordinary Love (Copper Canyon), was recognized by the New York Times as a best new book of poetry. His second book, Games for Children (Milkweed Editions) was a winner of the National Poetry Series.
**This workshop will take place on Zoom.**
