demons, diaspora & magic
December - January. Ten slots are available on a first come, first serve basis. Sessions are one-on-one via Google Hangouts for an hour per session. Cost is $10/session for the duration of eight sessions.
Our task in this course is to unlock the history of the body, exploring the relationships between journey and displacement, celebration and ceremony. This 6-week intensive course, designed for oppressed communities, examines the use of history in poetry, allowing our demons, ancestors, and many selves to converse. What violences must be named? & how did they come to be? What stories/magic/medicine have we forgotten, & what can be recovered? This course demands the poet return for whatever pieces of themselves have been left behind due to colonial/neocolonial processes in order to witness a possible future.
*Please note that course requires a laptop computer, Internet connection, and working email address.
