AWP 2011

AWP 2011: I will be on a panel called Understanding Comics as Creative Writing. With me, talking about images and words: John Dermot Woods, Matt Madden, Gary Sullivan and Joseph Young.
Thanks to John Dermot Woods for inviting me.

This is the "official" description of the panel:

While the critical study of comics has been fully embraced by English Literature departments, Creative Writing programs have been slower to create a place for the practice of comics in their own curricula. Similarly, independent literary presses rarely publish comics, leaving that work to comics-specific houses. This panel features teachers and practitioners of the medium who will discuss ways to open up the Creative Writing field to the practice of comics (and other image-text literature).

AWP 2011 will happen in Washington, DC, from February 2 to February 5.
