Catherine Bresner, a Seattle poet and “tinkerer” in visual arts, discusses the need for a feminist language of experience. You will get a peek into Matthea Harvey’s visual poetics book, “Of Lamb,” Renee Gladman’s “Prose Architectures,” and Catherine’s own visual poem, “American Sentence.” Catherine is an articulate teacher and writer, skilled at explaining her experiences in writing and being in a way that translates across multiple audiences. As she reads and shows poetry comics that I inspire her as well as her own, curl up with a spiced fall beverage of choice and join us! As always, you can always listen to the podcast version. However, this particular episode is on visual poetics — your experience will be enriched by watching :).
