In this workshop session we'll be checking in with a poetics of kitsch ephemera and schlocky body horror, as we brave the squishy, pinkly-terrifying realm of the "monstrous cute". Here, we will explore how poets as diverse as Dorothy Molloy, Aase Berg, Chelsey Minnis, Cathy Park-Hong, and Harry Josephine Giles deploy cuteness towards ambivalent and grotesque ends, speaking back to notions of genre, gender, class and kind. We will use the work of these poets as a spur to our own monstrous high-camp inventions. Saturated palettes at the ready! Swap subtly for sequins! And brace for impact.
