Binging the Syntax: A Workshop for Greedy, Horny Sentences (10/8/2023 – Stella Corso)

In this workshop, we will look at examples of energetic, engorged, fervent, and audacious syntax, consulting some literary theories of the sentence along the way. We will examine these sentences for their various multiplicities and anticipations, considering how many temporalities, attitudes, and points of view one might dare to contain. Please bring a short piece of in-progress writing (of any genre) so that you may experiment with pushing the boundaries of your own slutty syntax.
