Creative Writing & Archives Mini-Seminar with M.C. Kinniburgh

About This Event

M.C. Kinniburgh will lead a mini-seminar in Syracuse's Special Collections Research Center, focusing on twentieth-century and contemporary poetry and the poetics of archival exploration. By exploring material in the Diane di Prima Papers and Amiri Baraka Collection, participants will learn about the development of radical small press and "mimeograph revolution" publications in the 1960s, and have the opportunity to reflect on their own editing and writing practices. A series of creative prompts and writing/discussion will guide this mini-seminar; there are no prerequisites to participation. Space is limited, so please register for the event using this Google form by 10/1.

M.C. Kinniburgh is co-owner and co-Director at Granary Books and author of Wild Intelligence: Poets’ Libraries and the Politics of Knowledge in Postwar America (UMass Press, 2022) and the Messy Archivist series of pamphlets/zines.
