#awp2023 — Public Fediverse posts

If you’re interested in continuing the discussion about #writing on #abortion begun at #AWP2023 (& which I mention in the previous post), you can go to https://www.facebook.com/Writing-in-the-Wake-of-RoeAWP-2023-114842178217838

#Language alert (& a long story): at the #Writing #Abortion in the Wake of Roe panel at #AWP2023, a panelist discussed how anti-abortion activists are abusing and distorting language to aid their cause. Here’s an example of a new #word or term popping up in the wake of Idaho’s “teen travel ban.”

Check it out: I’ve started a Facebook page called #WRITING IN THE WAKE OF ROE that is a continuation of the #AWP #AWP2023 panel discussion of the same name. It’s still under construction but it will (I hope) host news stories and other work on the topic of #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment & #literature on #abortion. https://www.Facebook.com/Writing-in-the-Wake-of-RoeAWP-2023-114842178217838

Six pieces of art removed from exhibition at small Idaho public #college for fear they run afoul of state law prohibiting the promotion of #abortion. This is the stuff of my #AWP #AWP2023 presentation last week. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #ArtisticFreedom https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/13/arts/design/idaho-abortion-lewis-clark-college.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

It must be the day of my presentation at #AWP #AWP2023 because I got another #rejection this morning so thank you to the gawds who made THAT possible! #writinglife sorry/not sorry #WRITING IN THE WAKE OF ROE 12:10 pm Room 440 I’ll be there w/some real #authors even if I’m not…………..

If I use a well-worn cliche in a poem
it is because I want all the cultural baggage
associated with the image incorporated
into the conceptual scope of the poem
to form the matrix of its mind-warping spell.

Well I’ve embarrassed myself at #AWP #AWP2023 and I got a #rejection this morning. Great day.

#AWP2023

I'm leading a panel on #Translation at #AWP2023 and am curious what the translation and @litstudies community would most like to hear/learn about when it comes to #creativity and translation theory. The panelists are all published creative writers who translate, so we will be able to touch upon the unique intersection of creative impulse and translation.

What would people want to hear? What are your interests? I'd love input to help guide the direction of the discussion!
