Braided River: Naropa’s Summer Writing Program 2015

0/5 ( ratings)

EP 38.

These are three interviews with the same questions for three eminent, progressive poets who have been guest faculty during Naropa’s Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics Summer Writing Program, all visiting/teaching/performing at Naropa before these conversations took place, but queried here specifically in the context of our 2015 pedagogy, which carried the themic rubric of Braided River,the Activist Rhizome. These poets are Fred Moten, Rachel Levitsky, and Omar Berrada.

Excerpt:

There’s a lot of good energy that flows from the love of poetry that the folks who gather hold in common” Fred Moten says. Rachel Levitsky quips that perhaps common ground is a coffee bar. Omar Berrada references Édouard Glissant’s distinction between “common place and lieu-commun” with its “conditions of possibility for the emergence of unpredictable feelings of resistance against the systematic truths induced by commonplace thinking and reasoning; and against the meanings imposed by the logics of coloniality and governmentality.
—Anne Waldman
