"Not Yet a Genre: Writing Beyond Words"

AWP 2019
Portland, OR

There are times when words are not enough—when the image wants to remain an image, when the body is best described by the motion of the body itself. Using schematics, paper cutouts, aerial acrobatics, embroidery, and film, these writers genre-bend beyond poetry and prose to create a conversation between elements on and off the page. Panelists will show and read examples of their work, discuss their process and techniques, and engage in a Q&A session.

I am moderating and presenting on this panel, featuring Kathryn Smith, Oliver Baez Bendorf, Emily Van Kley, and Dustin Parsons.
