The More-Than-Human Multiverse: Celebrating the Poetry of Widening Circles

  • Seattle Convention Center 705 Pike St Seattle, WA (map)

Marybeth Holleman, Gretchen Primack, Mandy-Suzanne Wong, Megan Kaminski, Donald Vincent

As poets and readers embrace the necessity of hearing a multiverse of human voices, it’s also necessary that we embrace the multiverse of the nonhuman. Though challenging, finding ways to "hear" the nonhuman can only enrich our writing. We will explore how that ethos, a new perspective on and attention to the nonhuman, has shaped the consciousness and work of contemporary poets, and what strategies we have found successful.

Room 337, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 3
