AWP Room 2102 A Kansas City Convention Center

12:10 PM - 1:25PM

w/ Tacey Atsitty, Halee Kirkwood, Melanie Merle, and Elise Paschen.

Ekphrastic Poetry places text in conversation with image and sound. In the practice, a dialogue emerges between the two and creates a third space, one that questions how embodied experience is intimately connected to witness and gaze. In this panel 5 Indigenous poets will discuss how they employ that third space in their own poetics, complicating the underlying power dynamics between gaze and object by sharing examples of their own work and engaging with the audience. 

AWP Room 2103 A Kansas City Convention Center

3:20 PM - 4:35PM

w/ Kimberly Blaeser, Aimee Inglis, Kalehua Kim, and Casandra Lopez

Native relationships with water involve complex cultural beliefs. Likewise, Indigenous Hydropoetics has many tributaries. This panel will begin with a collaborative video poem and then consider how cultural traditions and place-based experiences influence poetic form and content. We will discuss our efforts to write with rather than about water-- to enter into dialogue on the ways reciprocity informs our writing, living on and off the page, including as eco-activism and multi-media expressions.
