Annual Conference (Chicago, IL)

March 3, 2012 @ 10:30am

Panel organizer, facilitator, and co-presenter: Poetic Possibilities of Deep Travel

Participants: Janée J. Baugher, Gerard Wozek, Sandra Meek, David Roderick, Carolyne Wright. Join this panel of globe-trotting poets to discuss the bedazzling and bedeviling byproducts of deep travel. While immersed in other cultures, we submit to an altered perception of time and space, which informs our language and develops imagination. Whether we view travel as a panacea or hallucinogen, each panelist has discovered that writing deeply can come from having traveled deeply. Trans-locating can usher us closer to home, but ultimately travel grants us a renewed sense of connectedness.
