SPAM Press Workshop: Poetics of Cringe
Mon 10 Apr 2023 to Mon 10 Apr 2023
In this workshop with Maria Sledmere, we’ll explore the queer art of cringe through desire, play, poemmaxxing and (dis)avowal.
Working through forms and genres of cringe such as lyric, blogging, fan art and the pov or confessional, we’ll write and engage with work which positions cringe as a post-internet experience of queer intimacy, ekphrasis and reclamation.
Through co-writing, cringe-writing and some gallus experiments, let’s embrace radical amateurism and go deep into overshare and detritus.
Funded by the Edwin Morgan Trust's Second Life Award and hosted by SPAM Press.
Maria Sledmere has authored over twenty books of poetry, including Cocoa and Nothing with Colin Herd (SPAM Press), Visions & Feed (HVTN Press), String Feeling (Erotoplasty Editions), The Luna Erratum (Dostoyevsky Wannabe) and neutral milky halo (Guillemot Press). She lectures in Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde and is editor-in-chief of SPAM Press.
