Andrei Codrescu (Romania)

This is a poetry writing workshop that aims for the tender intersection of word- fertility with critical inquiry. We will write some exercises, but the stress will be on the particular attention that language requires to become incarnate. Helpful to this would be reading “The Posthuman Dada Guide,” and “The Poetry Lesson,” two short books. “The Posthuman Dada Guide” surveys the history of poetry’s increasing role in the world of ideas, and “The Poetry Lesson” is an amusing (I hope) distillation of my teaching this mysterious art for a quarter of a century.”
