.@NewYorker Another problem: By the time PoC or minorities get to an #MFA age, they've already internalized that their voices don't matter.

@redactioneer “In my workshop there was an almost lunatical belief that race was no longer a major social force (it’s class!)” <— IU, 2002/3 -
@elseloop glad we could live up to the stereotype. -
@redactioneer I just remember that conversation happening on a near-daily basis. And the counter arguments, too. I dunno. -
@elseloop I always felt class was easier for some to access bc they had more exposure to theory/discussion about class as opposed to race. -
@redactioneer That’s a good point. I’m sure it was true for me. Mostly I remember being sad and drunk, so I’m effectively useless here… :-| -
@elseloop I remember some incredible poems you wrote and that the best discussions, the most honest ones, happened outside workshop. -
@redactioneer I’m blushing. And smiling. And thinking fondly of those conversations (& chain smoking) in your kitchen in Bloomington… - 2 more replies
New conversation -
