Divinatory poetics is a writing practice rooted in encounter. It engages uncertainty and the invisible as generative conditions of relation rather than threats to be solved, controlled, flattened, or monetized. Through ritual attention and oracular methods, the page becomes a site where dream, memory, ancestry—both known and unknown, gather. Meaning emerges through close listening and creative risk: an attunement to the charged drift of what moves between bodies, histories, and worlds.
Queer counter-prophecy interrupts the patriarchal architecture of prophecy, which relies on hierarchy: one voice, one truth, one authorized future. Queerness refuses these structures and instead turns toward forms of knowing that are plural, contingent, emergent.
This panel explores divinatory poetics as a practice of becoming-with: a methodology that turns writing into a collaborative encounter with what exceeds us.
It asks how queer, feminist, and diasporic lineages of divination unsettle dominant narratives of futurity—and how they enact alternatives grounded in relation, collectivity, and the still-possible.
