Divine Writing: Connections between Writing Practice, Craft, and Divination

  • Seattle Convention Center 705 Pike St Seattle, WA (map)

Michele Battiste, Hoa Nguyen, Megan Kaminski, Hillary Leftwich, Selah Saterstrom

What are divination poetics and how do they manifest in writing practice? Can divination tools such as the Tarot, I Ching, and Throwing the Bones influence modes of creation and assemblage? Does the written word have the same generative agency as a reading? When we read the spread or the signs are we also writing the story? Four writers and divination practitioners share the ways in which divination, intuition, and embodied knowledge influence, guide, and disrupt their writing.

Room 437, Summit Building, Seattle Convention Center, Level 4
