Carla Harryman has joined the Creative Writing Program (and will begin teaching this Fall!).
A poet, playwright, novelist, and essayist, Harryman’s recent publications include the book-length poem Open Box (Belladonna, 2007), the novel Gardener of Stars (Atelos, 2001), Baby (Adventures in Poetry, 2005), & the selected mixed-genre writings, There Never Was a Rose Without a Thorn (City Lights, 1995). Adorno’s Noise is forthcoming from Essay Press. She co-edited Lust for Life: On the Writings of Kathy Acker (Verso, 2006).
Carla is presenting an informal talk & reading as part of the Transparency Machine Event Series today (Monday, March 24) at the University of Windsor, Ontario. Texts that she has selected for her discussion are downloadable at News & Events, http://web4.uwindsor.ca/english.
The Transparency Machine Reading Series is a discussion event about the practice and theory of writing poetry – including practices and theories of prefixing poetry (“anti-“; “non-“), adjectivizing poetry (“poetic”), and capitalizing poetry (first letter; letters at random). The series invites a poet to discuss his or her work in the context of other texts selected and projected by the poet.
