In The Unnamable, Beckett offers this: “Dear incomprehension, it’s thanks to you I’ll be myself in the end.” In our week together, I would like to examine this idea by thinking about the concept of “bewilderment” and how it gets acted out in our writing—either through syntax, our accessing the duende, leaps into the unconscious, or simply circling around what is unsaid, unknown, unrealized. This will be a generative workshop, in the sense that we will look closely at work we bring in to find ways to transform it & go deeper into the shadow world. A week before the workshop I will ask you to submit a few things to a google drive folder we will all have access to (a few images, a science article, a few pages of our writing, a mentor piece), so we can get to know each other and have some material to transform.
