“Once and again, O thou, Destroyer named / Thou hast destroyed me, thou, my love of old!"
—Cassandra, in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon

What role does rejection really play in our writing? In this 3-hour studio, we’ll look a bit at Cassandra, Chris Kraus, and Sara Ahmed, and talk about rejection in relation to prophecy, yearning, supplication, submission (including but not limited to publishing), and repudiation.

Short talks interwoven with a guided, contemplative prompt, with opportunities (not compulsory) to talk and share. Fully remote via Zoom.
