The title for this exploratory session is lifted from the title of scholar Tina M. Campt's insightful text on ways of listening closely to photography; it informs how we will attune ourselves to the "lower frequencies" of a photographic image so that we can register "'felt sound[s]'--sound that, like a hum, resonates in and as vibration." In this collaborative space (the course model for a workshop is a space of generating work and sharing it in communal generosity), we will explore the ways in which poets have recently engaged with personal, historical, and archival photographs: Ross Gay, Deborah Paradez, and Anthony Cody, to name a few, while simultaneously embarking on our own listening and entrance into/with images. No prior knowledge in working with text and image is required, as I will offer some tutorials.

This is a 1-day craft class (3 hours long) on Saturday, March 19th from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM ET. This craft class is open to all writers of color. See the class page for more information!
