A Creative Showcase and Discussion

3:30pm to 5:00pm at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center: Laureate Classroom

Literary practitioners have expanded their interests to include video games, performance art and visual poetics. “Expanded media” is our catchall term for all of those spaces between common forms of “media” — TV shows, video games, networked culture — and the subversive interests of writers extending the avant-garde tradition. This panel is free and open to the public. Visit the PAMLA conference schedule for more information.
