Event Type
Across a little over two years, 16(ish) poets have participated in one way or another in a collaborative composition process and a performance resulting from that process for the online series called "It's Copperhead Season." The collaborating pairs are sorta-randomly matched and given a few months to share ideas, swap poems, construct something new together, and ultimately perform some live document of their writerly connection(s). Participants have generated a myriad of poetic forms, visual and sonic experiments, an interactive role-playing game, and other viper-potent combinations both familiar and strange.
In the "It's Copperhead Season(s)" Round(about)table, a gathering of these participants from across the series will share from their collaborations and experiences and spark new connections in a discussion on writing and art-making in resonant frequencies.
This heady celebration of past and future consanguinity will feature readings, performances, serpentine wisdom, tarot practice, mixed mediumship, live role-playing games, and/or slithering nonsense from some of the participants including Danika Stegeman, Joe Hall, Jace Brittain, Lindsey Webb, Mike Bagwell, Paula Cisewski, and others. Collaborators have also included Olivia Muenz, Yanara Friedland, Isaac Pickell, Matt Hart, Karen Rigby, Jacob Reber, Dom Witten, D.C. Klein, Kelly Hoffer, and MC Hyland. Jacob Reber designed all of our previous posters, visual materials, glitches, and visions.
