My Desiring Unsaid #3: Writers’ Room with Henry Broome

​A memoir/essay workshop on writing desire through keepsake gifting, confessional correspondences, book swapping and other votive exchanges, searching out uncorrelate emotions that exists in excess of material fact and physical attachment, when words become the cauls of the unsaid and sweat-stuck flesh won’t provide final proof.

​Henry Broome, our writer-in-residence, leads a third workshop of writing exercises, readings and discussion on desire, non-attainment and endlessly desiring desire.

​Readings will include: The Lover by Marguerite Duras, Mikhail Bakhtinʼs theory of the Chronotope, Garth Greenwell on writing sex, and once more Iʼm Very into You by Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark.

​Newcomers very welcome! There is no need to have attended previous workshops.

​Please bring a book (fiction or nonfiction) where you like the way a passage describes sex/physical intimacy.
