About the Offering

The hybrid text is not new but the word and our regard for the multi-genre approach is relatively new. So, our opening questions are: how to begin and how to make meaningful choices without succumbing to a slap-dash, trendy-looking text? Other questions: What kinds of choices are there? How to even make choices? We will begin each day with example texts for the sake of finding approaches and models. For the hands-on dimension of the class, we will mix up various texts, genres, and media. Students should expect to write new material, to literally rip up your old stuff, and to research in areas that may be unfamiliar (think: the Psittaciformes or the origin of canals or the etymology of the word asylum). Eventually, everyone will lay everything out on the floor to get a picture of progression and cohesion. This is a generative workshop open to all. A good amount of experience in one genre is recommended.

LIVE TIME: 2pm-4pm EST.

About the Instructor/Moderator

Kimiko Hahn's The Ghost Forest: new and selected poems spans ten collections and subjects ranging from identity to science. In the new work, she continues to play with Eastern and Western forms. Reflecting her interest in Japanese poetics, her essay on the zuihitsu was published in the American Poetry Review. At present, she is co-editing an anthology of zuihitsu. Among her honors is the 2023 recipient of the Ruth Lilly Prize for Lifetime Achievement from The Poetry Foundation. Hahn teaches in the MFA Program for Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Queens College, City University of New York.
