I’ll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women
Vanessa Place, Bhanu Kapil, Mónica de la Torre, Sawako Nakayasu, Kim Rosenfield
Conceptual writing is an emerging 21st century literary movement which creates poetry and prose concerned with politics but not polemics and which foregrounds ‘thinkership’ as opposed to readership, ‘sobjectivity’ instead of individuality. Poetic techniques include: appropriation, documentation, constraint, process, performance, polyvocality, and re-versioning of form. Participants will present on women’s contributions (historical and new) to the field.
