Thursday, January 2, 2020 Palimpsest Poetry Timelines: 3b: Past Workshops (Unseen Archive), 4: Julio Montalvo Valentín Workshops & Events
Palimpsest Poetry
Thomas De Quincey once asked, “what else than a natural and mighty palimpsest is the Human Brain?” With this, the workshop explores the palimpsest as a form and applies it to familiar structures and spaces. Writers will be challenged to delve into them through nostalgia or memory and re-write them into re-imagined perspectives.
