"Professor Lisa Hiton on Writing Workshop Philosophy" "Hiton, visiting assistant professor of English and creative writer in residence, was first drawn to writing through this concept of slow discourse. While pursuing her undergraduate degree in film at Boston University, she took a poetry course with writer Maggie Dietz that changed her whole trajectory. 'I'm not a person who believes in fate, but something about BU is a lot of what I would call "celestial choreography,"' she said." viaTHE LAFAYETTE |

What Sparks Poetry: Sandra Lim on "Black Box" "My poem, 'Black Box,' is beguiled by the metaphor of the black box as a way to broach the world, the people around us, and our own hearts. Part of that beguilement also has to do with the very limits of the black box metaphor itself; conceptual orderliness of a certain way of thinking can imprison us in a limiting framework—the black box is itself a black box. One way out of this is to construct more conceptual frameworks with horizons of possibility going far beyond what we hold to be true, or at least, visible." |
