We will discuss how occult and paranormal experiences and practices of poets in the past shaped their praxis and changed the world of poetry, and in some cases even saved lives. We will read and discuss the occult poetics of Hannah Weiner, Jack Spicer, Robert Desnos, and others. We will also build (Soma)tic poetry rituals as well as collectively build personalized rituals for each participant in the workshop. CA will have follow-up contact with each student after the workshop to discuss the progress of their rituals and writing.
