“‘Can You Here Us Now?’: 13 Notes Toward Listening” was part of a panel on “Dancing about Architecture: Writing at the Intersection of Language, Art, and Music” at the AWP Conference in Boston, MA (March 2013). Thanks to Michael Mejia for organizing this conversation and for including Katharine Whitcomb, Jeffrey DeShell, and Debra Di Blasi:
“This panel is interested in complex intersections between language, music, and the visual arts. Moving beyond the ekphrastic response, we will discuss how our texts seek to conceptually and materially adapt and participate in the practices of other arts, creating innovative hybrids, unclassifiable monsters, art whose language, style, form, and approaches to authorship remind us of the book’s less genre-bound past and point to continuing opportunities for cross-genre experiment in the future.”
