What does it mean to give and receive care? How might we imagine and write into being more expansive modes of care? How can poetry conjure new attitudes to the routines and challenges of care? What might a caring poetics look like?

This course will probe care in its myriad forms, opening up new ways of understanding and writing about our interconnection and interdependence. We will experiment with writing passionately, urgently, personally, distantly, haphazardly, documenting and exploring the vital work of care. Writers including Denise Saul, Khairani Barokka, and Daniel Sluman will guide our attentive and caring poetics.
