Two ways of reading is an exhibit that takes seriously the different ways in which a poet and publisher interpret the same manuscript. Poet Julia Rose Lewis and publisher Alec Newman offer their readings of Traumatism. This is a reflection of the working relationship between a poet and publisher who have collaborated on six poetry and essay collections to date.
This exhibit will explore ways in which the Ham House and Garden collaboration with the Storybox Collective gives insight into the history of science.
reading the "Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life" reminded me of "The Collected Schizophrenias Essays" by Esme Weijun Wang, so i wanted to talk more about the presence of mental illness/madness and how it affects our experiences in academics. Esme Wang's chapter, "Yale Will Not Save You", details how her experience at Yale defined her as a schizoaffective person, and how, eventually, the misdiagnosis of Bipolar disorder, the hesitancy to treat and medicate, and the pushout of mentally ill students led to her suicidal and out of school.
I talked about this a bit in my breakout room last night and I might talk about it in my final project, but I thought I'd share it in a post in case I end up going in a different direction with my paper.

My work with Poem Brut has been in its curating, in publishing a series of books and in presenting a series of performances. If I see any of that activity as my commission, it is my performances, to be found http://stevenjfowler.com/poembrut. These live works form a body of work exploring the principles of the project in living space. What is a mess between people? What is a conversation relating against its own expectation?
Since 2017 I have had the privilege of being involved with Steve Fowler’s Poem Brut project. Alongside exhibiting works, I have engaged in performances exploring the interaction of material, sound and semi-ritualistic processes. Originally no conscious intent or theoretical agenda lay behind them - what drove these performances was instinct, affect and an inclination towards uncensored creation.
