Anti-fascist Gay Literature: A Writing Workshop
This five week workshop will center on a reading of Agustín Gómez-Arcos' The Carnivorous lamb to consider Gay Liberationist dreams. We will be reading supplementary poetry and queer theory, PDFs of which will be provided. The course readings will familiarize students with literary devices and possibilities to generate new works. This is an open genre course.
Workshop Goals
This workshop will be divided into an hour of critical and generative discussion amongst the class about the readings and an hour of group workshopping, however, this is subject to recalibration dependent upon the needs of the particular group. By the end of the course, students will have produced and workshopped five discrete speculative pieces in any and/or multiple and/or not yet invented genres. In the final session, we will discuss methods for organizing the works into a chapbook or tentative full-length book project.
The Carnivorous lamb, Agustín Gómez-Arcos
