Seven years ago (!!!) Corporeal Writing hosted its first ever seasonal lab—and we started with Fall. It’s an exciting time for us all as we cozy back into this beautiful season ripe with metaphors.
Color. Changes in light, leaves, life. Meditation. Observation. In this generative lab we will develop your key primary metaphors embedded in how you experience your life physically. Don’t worry—we know how to find them. From these metaphors we will develop seeds of texts (poetic, fiction, nonfiction, or mixed genre) for future expansion in your writing and artmaking life.
Domi Shoemaker helped create Corporeal Writing, where they now write, manage space, and lead writing collaborations in Portland, OR. Domi holds an MFA from Pacific University, where they also judge the annual undergrad writing contest and they are a senior fiction editor for Pacific’s Silk Road Journal. Domi has published with platforms such as [PANK] and Nailed Magazines, and they can be found in print with Forest Avenue Press, and in Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Misfit’s Manifesto. Domi has a love for hybrid works and they are currently working in mixed media audio visual forms. You can reach them at domi@corporealwriting.com
