Kinship and/in Strangeness
Associative language is at once a core poetic power and, at times, a fraught topic. In this generative workshop, we’ll think through the various and maybe surprising moves that count as metaphor, celebrate some weird and brilliant uses of associative language, consider the ethics of association, and write toward the recognition of a world that is at once strange and profoundly interconnected.
