Join Office Hours for a Craft Class &amp; Reading with Kay Ulanday Barrett on Thursday, November 13, 2025 from 6:30PM-8:30 PM via Zoom (see below for details).&nbsp; Disabled Poetics &amp; Crip Ecologies:&nbsp;This workshop session delves into Disabled poetics and Crip Ecologies in its many &nbsp;hybrid, justice-informed, climate-aware, performance-based, and multi-approach &nbsp;radiances. This poetry of the body-mind has a long lineage and helps us identify, &nbsp;transform, and strategize various tools in rhythm, sound, form, approach, and &nbsp;technique. All abilities are celebrated and all disabilities uplifted. We&rsquo;ll unpack and &nbsp;generate new writing together using mapping, access awareness, and memory building &nbsp;to explore the possibilities and care of our reading and writing. Poets possibly considered but not limited to:&nbsp;JJJJJerome Ellis, Saleem Hue Penny, Cyr&eacute;e Jarelle Johnson, Suzi Garcia, Walela &nbsp;Nehanda, Leroy Moore, Arianna Monet, Joselia Rebekah Hughes, and more!&nbsp; EMPHASIS:&nbsp;This session emphasizes works of Queer, Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Non Conforming who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color aka The Global Majority. A &nbsp;keen focus will include vital work of Sick, Disabled, Migrant, and working class/poor &nbsp;perspectives.&nbsp;We will elaborate on performance, writing exercises, and disabled poetics approaches &nbsp;as artistic and political strategies. These methods hope to encourage us to polish our &nbsp;emotional and connective landscape. This is generative intensive will also include &nbsp;readings, video study, sound study, and discussion. <b fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit;">Kay&nbsp;Ulanday Barrett<span fr-original-style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important; box-sizing: inherit;">&nbsp;is a 2024 Disabled Futures Fellow and was awarded the Cy Twombly Award for Poetry.
