11.3 Renee Gladman: "Lines Into Grasses"


Listen Later

Welcome to the third and final episode of Season Eleven of the Bagley Wright Lecture Series on Poetry podcast.

Season Eleven features a trio of linked lectures written and delivered by Renee Gladman during her time as a Bagley Wright Lecturer, in 2020 and 2021. Gladman shared these lectures over Zoom during Covid, in partnership with the Center for Imagination in the Borderlands at Arizona State University.

These linked lectures, broadly titled “Am I A Fiction? // Three lectures on Invisibility, Fictional Knowing, and Writing-Drawing” explores the perplexities, epiphanies, inventions, and other phenomena that have been central to Renee Gladman's writing and drawing practices over the past two decades as well as indispensable to the shaping of her Ravicka series (Dorothy, a publishing project). These talks roam through several questions: How do we envision a future space or future city that can both recognize and nourish bodies that are exiled, fractured, othered, multiple, or ever shifting? How do we cultivate relationships with the non-known and non-visible forms that energize and make mysteries of our work and our living? And how do we sustain work across varying fields of thought and media?

Today, we'll hear the final lecture in this trio, “Lines Into Grasses,” given November 4, 2021.

To view the series of drawings that Renee shares in the video accompaniment to this lecture, please visit the BWLS website.

Gladman's book of collected BWLS lectures, ⁠⁠⁠Theory for Moving Houses, is forthcoming from Wave Books, and is available ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here.
