Poetics Lab No. 1 from the Center for Poetics and Social Practice
5:00 p.m. • May 3, 2008 • 1301 33rd St. NW

The phrase “Poetics Lab” suggests there is a definition to be attained for "poetics" as the container for what poetry can encompass as process, perception, movement, effort, and concept. Alcalay and Morgan, whose paths have crossed over the past thirty years, will be the first to collaboratively consider the "poetics lab" as the Petri-dish for thinking about poetry/poetics in the broadest sense, as form and function of human thought, human perception, and the location of experience in time. more >

RSVP by April 30 to Ammiel Alcalay at aaka@earthlink.net.
