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.

Writers and the Moving Image: Off the Page
Annie Guthrie, Claudia Rankine, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Dan Waber, Sawako Nakayasu
The University of Arizona Poetry Center presents a juried screening of writers working in film/video, featuring short works by Claudia Rankine, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Kate Greenstreet, John Gallaher, G.C. Waldrep, Sawako Nakayasu, Forrest Gander, Eula Biss, John Bresland, Brandon Downing, and others. Panelists Claudia Rankine, Josh Wilkinson, and Dan Waber discuss the text/image relationship, inter-genre writing, filmic vocabulary, new directions in Vispo, and the digital lyric essay.
