Topics:
Literacy, Poetry
Description : After a reading by Geoffrey Nutter and Graham Foust, Nutter presented his Wallson Glass Writing Workshop. The workshop, Life of the Imagination, is two hours of writing experiments, using an array of texts to create collages of language and thought in the course of adding to the “stock of available reality.” Our day’s work: to watch as language, thought, and dream form weird and luminous syntheses and to reorder our experience of living in the world of things and ideas as poets and human beings. We will avail ourselves of technical journals, art books, strange silent films, unclassifiable texts books on ceramics, glass, antique snuff boxes and clocks constructivist towers, Brutalist structures, weird interiors, stylized ruins, Victorian bric-a-brac and ancient vessels and all manner of bizarre tomes and dream books. And you will write as much as you have ever written in one day. The transformation of the real and the making of speculative worlds. Living in and through the imagination.
