Poem and Octopus: Masterclass with Kit Fan

4 April 2025, 10-12noon

Hebdomadar’s room

An octopus has a decentralised brain distributed throughout their body; each arm is an independent mind. A poem too has more than one brain and each line has own mind. For a poem to withstand the erosion of reading, it needs to find multiple intelligence in its singular body. Informed by other poems, participants will be invited to reflect on their own craft and invent a new way of being a poem that defies a single perspective but thrives on multiple intelligence.
